Mike Marsh has revealed Samed Yesil is in contention to make his second senior appearance for Liverpool in tonight's League Cup tie with Swansea City, but Jerome Sinclair is unlikely to be involved.
The duo figured in the third-round victory at West Bromwich Albion, with Yesil starting at the Hawthorns and Sinclair coming off the bench to become the Reds' youngest ever player in history.
However, Marsh claims Liverpool will field a more experienced side against Swansea tonight - though there could be another chance for Yesil.
"I don't think we'll be as young this time around as we were against West Brom," the first-team coach told Liverpoolfc.com. "We will change personnel, but I don't think we'll be as young as we were in that game.
"Jerome has been away with England and had a busy programme, so I think it'll be a chance for one or two others to play - possibly Samed.
"He's doing really well in training and there's a chance he'll be given a shirt."
If Liverpool were to achieve victory over Swansea, it would be another step towards a Wembley return as they look to mount a successful defence of the trophy they lifted at the national stadium in February.
And while Marsh acknowledges Brendan Rodgers' former club will provide a tough test at Anfield, he insists the Reds are determined to go all the way once again.
He said: "The gaffer will know more about them than myself having just come from there, but they're a good footballing side. We've obviously had them watched plenty of times and the manager has got a lot of back knowledge on them, so we'll be well prepared.
"Whatever competition we enter, we want to go as far as we possibly can.
"With the Europa League and Carling Cup, the games come thick and fast - but with a squad of 24/25 players, it's an opportunity to rest one or two and we'll go into the game expecting to get a victory.
"I've been looking at the teams left in the competition. Either Chelsea or Manchester United will go out, so the draw could open up. It's a competition we think we can win again."
After Rodgers left Swansea to take up the Liverpool hot seat in June, the Welsh club moved to appoint Michael Laudrup to the helm - a man Marsh holds great respect for.
"He's was one of the outstanding footballers of his generation," he said. "He's taken well to management in different countries and time will tell whether he has the same success over here.
"As a footballer, he was one of the best.
"If I remember rightly, Michael Laudrup was linked with Liverpool at one time. It was a shame he never came here as I think he would have suited our style of play."
