For the Youth Cup trip to Bournemouth, Liverpool have not included three players who are eligible to feature.

Ben Doak, Bobby Clark and Stefan Bajcetic are all able to play in the competition - but are not present at the Vitality Stadium.

That suggests that the trio will be involved against City, having also been part of the training camp in Dubai.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, assistant manager Pep Lijnders waxed lyrical about all three youngsters.

Liverpool under-18s: Hewitson; Davidson, Scanlon, Miles, Lucky; Laffey, Pilling; Kelly, Danns, Gift, Young.

Subs: Samuels, Trueman, Gyimah, Giblin, Pennington, Pitt, Ahmed.
