Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is set to risk an early FA Cup exit by playing kids in the clash against Exeter City on Friday.
The German's injury-ravaged squad play for the fifth time in 14 days when they visit St James Park for the third-round clash.
He said it would be left to the club's youth to see their side advance.
"None of the players who played the last five or six games in a row will play at Exeter. That is not possible. Then we can try and make a team. It is not easy, but we will try and find one," Klopp said.
"The team that plays will want to win 100 per cent, but it is true that it won't be a team that has played together often.
"Our squad is big with all the young players and we have to use this quality now."
"He played earlier this week as a full-back for 90 minutes," he said.
"But we don't have too many centre-backs, so it is an idea. We could need his experience."
