Barry Lewtas’s side yesterday won against u21 Leicester by Lawton Stewart early and only goal in 33′ which handed the Reds’ youngsters all three points in the Premier League 2 showdown, during which a few recognizable faces were on show.

Among them was Juventus loanee Arthur, who is still waiting for his first start for Jurgen Klopp’s side but completed the full 90 in the Under-21s game.

The 26-year-old picked up a booking in the latter stages of the contest, but he came through unscathed fitness wise in a major boost to Klopp, who has been reluctant to field him from the first whistle.

The Juventus loanee is yet to make an appearance for the Merseyside giants in the Premier League and made his debut as a late substitute in last week’s 4-1 Champions League loss to Napoli.

And then another recognizable face showed yesterday was Fabio Carvalho as he was recovering from his injury from Everton match. The 20-year-old was fit enough to make the bench for the 2-1 win over Ajax, but he did not earn any minutes

However, Carvalho also finished the Under-21s game alongside Arthur in a further boost to Klopp’s midfield options, and Phillips was also among the starters for Liverpool.
