Liverpool will hand a professional debut to teenage defender Neco Williams as Jurgen Klopp prepares to ring the changes for the Reds’ Carabao Cup clash with Arsenal.
The 18-year-old is expected to start at right-back at Anfield on Wednesday night, having impressed staff since being called up to train with the senior squad at Melwood.
Wrexham-born Williams, an Under-19 international with Wales, has been impressive for Liverpool’s Under-23 and Under-19 sides this season, and with Ki-Jana Hoever away on international duty with the Netherlands he will now get his first-team chance.
