Maybe yes, maybe not. Still a chance for Matip to start tonight and on Saturday.
Blair is a bit out of left field isn’t it?

The reason Kelleher is in front of Adrian is that he is significantly better.

Blair! Wow, didn’t see that coming.
Very quick and physically more advanced than some of the others but hasn’t played a lot due to injury over the last 18 months.
Very interesting.

Who is he?!
I consider myself quite up to speed on youngsters and entirely missed his name.
Edit: prob because he’s injured as @ILLOK just pointed out.
Wow I’m shocked he is in the team but great news for him!

Where would he play in this front 3?
Harvey Blair
- Position: CF
- Age: 17
- Nationality: English
The former Man Utd youth team player is a blindingly quick forward who was extremely impressive at the beginning of the 20/21 season before suffering a season ending injury. The striker is a versatile player capable of operating on either flank and, as he works his way back to fitness, will likely act as a back up in the U18s squad but I would expect that he will become a full time starter again by the new year.

That’s a surprisingly strong starting XI. Interested to see what Blair is like.
Can’t say I know much about him either, was just thinking that I don’t recall ever seeing him mentioned in regards to the U23s and looking at Twitter it seems he’s not even played at that level yet. Excited to see what he can do anyway.

Right or left footer?
Yeah. He’s looked good when I’ve seen him but that is very, very few minutes. Transfermrkt says he’s only played 449 over the last two seasons. Not sure that’s accurate but I don’t think it’s too far off.
Didn’t we steal him off United? Klopp is obviously trolling.

I believe he’s right footed, I can’t really remember though to be honest (he’s barely played after getting injured last season)
From his Instagram Blair did give a hint. Couldn’t imagine him starting so ignored. If only I called it when I seen it :((

A former Man Utd youth player bagging a hat-trick would just be cruel given the last few days.

Sepp VDB is starting for them. Seems like they’ve rotated quite a lot as well.
Some unhappy replies below.
Why are we risking Matip when Phillips has no game time.

He came over when he was 12/13 so I’m not sure what the situation was around that.
I love the idea of Klopp using his team selection to troll Man Utd though.
