Harvey Elliott has plenty of history in the League Cup despite his tender age. On debut for previous side Fulham, he became the youngest player to play in the competitions history - aged just 15.
He also became the youngest player to start a game for Liverpool, when he made his Red's debut in this competition against MK Dons. In the following round, he became the youngest player to start for Liverpool at Anfield.
A successful loan at Blackburn was followed by a painstaking operation and recovery, following a graphic ankle dislocation against Leeds at the beginning of the 2021/22 season.
His return in February brought with it a maiden goal, followed by a Champions League debut and a successful penalty to win him and his side an Fa Cup title in May.
His most successful season on a personal level came last year where he played 34 times in the league and was excellent during the League Cup campaign that saw him earn another piece of silverware.
Elliott will have been no doubt wanting to impress new manager Arne Slot but suffered another early season injury this time around, breaking a bone in his foot.
He returned to training in November and has featured from the bench in recent games against Girona and Fulham and could well be in line for a start in midweek.
The tricky attacker is still just twenty-one and despite two serious injuries, has played almost 200 games for club and country.
As well as hoping to impress his new Dutch manager, Elliott will be hoping to impress new England manager Thomas Tuchel as he looks to earn his first cap.
He was one of former interim manager Lee Carsley's shining stars at England youth level and was destined for a cap under him if not for this season's injury.
Elliott's creativity has been his most missed attribute in Liverpool's impressive season so far and he'll be looking to add more goals and assists as he continues to fight for minutes with his equally talented competition.
Elliott showed his ever-improving eye for goal at the tail end of last season, firing in a sensational goal against this weekend's opponents Tottenham Hotspur.
His main long term target will be to add to his already impressive bank of trophies. The youngster already has a pair of League Cups, an FA Cup, a Super Cup and An under 21 European Championship.
