Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders has hailed starlet Stefan Bajcetic as the 18-year-old prepares to feature against Derby.
The Reds will host the League One side in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, with Jurgen Klopp expected to rest virtually all of his first-team stars. That will mean academy players will be handed a chance to impress as Liverpool look to retain the trophy they won last season.
That is likely to see Bajcetic make just his fifth-ever appearance for the Reds' senior team, having starred for their academy since joining from Celta Vigo two years ago. All four of his outings for the first-team have come this season, with three appearances in the Champions League and one cameo in the Premier League.
