The highly-promising duo Kaide Gordon and Conor Bradley make their debuts for Liverpool in their EFL Cup clash against Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Joe Gomez skippers a much-tinkered Liverpool side that last turned out at Anfield against Crystal Palace in a 3-0 win for the Merseysiders.
Alisson and Van Dijk out, Kelleher and Bradley come in
The ever-familiar figure of Alisson Becker between the sticks for Liverpool is kept out of the matchday squad and so is star central defender Virgil van Dijk for today’s cup fixture.
Ibrahima Konate retains his spot at the back alongside the returning Joe Gomez, who dons the captain’s armband, while James Milner makes way for the young Conor Bradley to slot in at right-back.
Major changes in midfield and attack for the visitors
There is a complete rotation in the centre of the park for Liverpool with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara dropping out as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones earn recall onto the starting team sheet.
Up top, the Mane-Salah-Jota combine is not on the show with the 16-year-old starlet Kaide Gordon making his debut alongside Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s fixture:
