Jurgen Klopp is set to blood some younger players in Liverpool’s Capital One Cup clash with Bournemouth.
According to various reports, the ex-Borussia Dortmund manager is likely to hand starts to fringe players such as Joao Carlos Teixeira, Cameron Brannagan and Connor Randall in the Anfield clash later.

All three #LFC rookies have impressed Klopp with their attitude and work rate as well as their ability during training at Melwood.

Brannigan is set to start in midfield, with Teixeira in an advanced role, while Randall is likely to start at right-full back.
The game will give Klopp an opportunity to run the rule over some of the club’s youngsters as he continues to assess his new squad.
