Jurgen Klopp is determined to give young players a chance and the first win with Liverpool will be sought with Connor Randall, Cameron Brannagan, and Joao Teixeira in the starting lineup in the league cup match against Bournemouth.
According to goal.com, this trio impressed the German coach in training and it was enough for them to earn a place in the Capitol One Cup match on Wednesday at Anfield stadium. The Liverpool team under the new manager, so far, has not won any games and ended all three matches in a draw under Klopp's leadership.
Randall, who is a local talent, has been at the club for twelve years. This will be the 20-year-old footballer's debut in the Reds' lineup.
Brannagan will get his first chance to break into the team's lineup. The nineteen-year-old already rose from the bench in Europa League matches against Bordeaux. The defender, described by Klopp as strong and calm, recently signed a new two-year contract.
Meanwhile, Teixeira returns to the main team after a long break. The player last came off the bench in Premier League matches against Fulham in February.
These three players will try to justify the hopes placed on them and gain even more trust from Klopp. The German coach is known for giving young players opportunities to shine. In his press conference, the coach revealed that having the chance to turn potential players into stars was one of the reasons he joined the Liverpool team.
In the goalkeeper position, Adam Bogdan will have the chance to demonstrate his skills as he replaces Simon Mignolet. We can also expect more changes in the Liverpool team for today's match against Bournemouth.
