Report: Liverpool duo with 46 minutes between them in line to start alongside Chiesa vs West Ham

Liverpool face a tough test in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening as West Ham United are set to travel to Anfield.

Arne Slot now has the chance to mix things up and give a few youngsters a go in the Carabao Cup.

The Reds’ midfield hasn’t changed much with Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch bossing things up until this point.

Ian Wright says Liverpool have discovered a gem in Gravenberch after his impressive start to the season.

However, his fine form has come at a cost as Wataru Endo hasn’t been able to get much of a look-in.

Interestingly, it appears as if some of Liverpool‘s back-up players are set to get a chance against West Ham.

Paul Joyce claims Liverpool duo set to start vs West Ham

Viteslav Jaros is set to be in the Liverpool squad to play West Ham due to Alisson Becker’s injury.

Now, it looks as if Arne Slot is set to unleash a couple of players who have barely played so far this season.

According to Paul Joyce in the Times, both Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo are in line to start vs West Ham.

The report states Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah should start against West Ham.

Paul Joyce’s headline also states that Federico Chiesa is set to start.

Even the highly rated 17-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni, who was an unused substitute along with Koumas for the final, is not sure of a place in the squad on Wednesday, with Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones in line to start.

Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo’s Liverpool seasons to date

Curtis Jones only just returned against Nottingham Forest after suffering from an injury.

He’s only played 44 minutes of football so far this season, which is disappointing for the Englishman after such a good pre-season.

Meanwhile, Wataru Endo, who only has two minutes to his name this season, hasn’t been fancied by Arne Slot, with Ryan Gravenberch unmovable in the six position.

But, it now appears as if Gravenberch may be set for a rest which opens the door for Endo to impress.
