We select seven talented youngsters waiting to make an impact in the league for their clubs who should get a chance to shineIt is something of a curiosity that Smith Rowe has appeared three times in the Bundesliga during a loan with RB Leipzig and scored twice in the Europa League for Arsenal, but has yet to play a minute in England’s top flight. The 19-year-old is not far off though and Unai Emery has given him an active role in Arsenal’s cup games. Had it not been for a concussion sustained in the third round against Nottingham Forest he might have featured more this season but he has shown enough to suggest a stage such as Anfield will not faze him. Smith-Rowe, a rangy figure at 6ft, can operate on the flanks or in an attacking midfield role and is a positive, incisive influence who never shies from receiving the ball and trying to make things happen. His movement between the lines will be a test for Liverpool’s defensive players if he features on Wednesday.
