Liverpool's rookie goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher hopes his impressive European debut has done enough to earn him a first Premier League start.
The 22-year-old did not put a foot wrong in the 1-0 win over Ajax which guaranteed the Reds top spot in their Champions League group with a match to spare.
Kelleher, with just four domestic cup appearances behind him last season, combined dependability with moments of outstanding quality - highlighted by his 88th-minute save from veteran goalscorer Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
With a hamstring problem already ruling out Alisson Becker of Sunday's visit of Wolves and potentially the following weekend's trip to Fulham - he would not have been considered for next Wednesday's dead rubber against Midtjylland - there is a key vacancy to be filled.
