Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could offer two exciting youngsters full debuts against Derby

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could make full debuts in Calvin Ramsay and Stefan Bajcetic as he looks to rotate his squad for the League Cup tie against Derby County. The youngsters have been limited to short appearances during their time at the club so far but could now be given the chance to make their first starts at Anfield.

Liverpool will be playing their first League Cup game - a competition they won last season, beating Chelsea in the final to lift their first trophy of the campaign. Given their struggles in the Premier League so far this year, retaining the trophy could be one of their best chances of success in the current campaign.

Klopp tends to prioritize other competitions when it comes to his team selection and is known to trust his fringe players, especially when it comes to the early stages of the League Cup. He is likely to do so again against League One Derby and will always be confident of a home result without his top stars.

It could open the door for backup stars like Ramsey and Bajcetic as the pair look to make their full debuts. Both men have been limited to short cameos since joining the club but can now be given a greater chance to show their worth.

Bajcetic received the most playing time of the pair, coming off the bench in the 9-0 win over Bournemouth earlier in the season. He has since made three appearances from the bench in the Champions League, but the bulk of his involvement has come from the reserve side.

It is Ramsay, however, who could cause the most stir among the Anfield faithful. The Scots youngster arrived from Aberdeen in the summer in a deal worth around £4million. His first few months at the club were hampered by a back injury, but he has since had a short chance in the first team, earning an appearance on the bench in the 2-0 win over Napoli.

Klopp could also provide opportunities for other fringe stars as he seeks to rotate his squad. Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Caoimhin Kelleher could also receive games with Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson rested for the league.

It remains to be seen which personnel Klopp decides to take part in the game with later today, but there should be plenty for Liverpool supporters with so many less scouted players.
