Liverpool U23s return to action with an away friendly against Welsh Premier League outfit Bangor City.

Fans will be watching the line-up closely to see if it gives any hints at players who may be likely to be included in the first team squad for the FA Cup Third Round tie with Plymouth Argyle on Sunday.

With a tough festive schedule biting on the first team, a number of changes are expected from Jurgen Klopp and several of the U23 squad could be involved at Anfield.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ovie Ejaria were both on the bench against Sunderland last weekend but neither has played a game at any level since December 20 in the U23s friendly against Chester.

Talented striker Ben Woodburn is in the same situation and if any of the three are to start against Plymouth, some involvement against Bangor might be expected.

Midfielder Cameron Branngan will be missing having injured his ankle ligaments while Spaniard Pedro Chirivella is closing in on a loan deal to Dutch Eridivise side Go Ahead Eagles .

The U23s were involved in a 4-4 friendly thriller against Wigan development squad last Friday where Sheyi Ojo and Joe Gomez continued their returns after injury.

A tough contest against a side sitting fourth in the Welsh Premier looks in store.

Kick off at Nantporth, on the banks of the Menai Straits, is at 7.30pm.
