You can’t win anything with kids.

Some eejit named Alan Hansen said that once upon a time and Jurgen Klopp clearly doesn’t agree as he’s remained faithful to the philosophy he showed when he named a youthful starting line-up against Exeter 10 days ago.

Liverpool needed a 73rd minute equaliser from 21-year-old left back Brad Smith to set up the replay which takes place tonight at Anfield.

Smith starts tonight, as do fellow youngsters Connor Randall, Tiago Ilori, Kevin Stewart, Cameron Brannagan and Joao Teixeira in a side that is captained by Jose Enrique.
