FOUR Premier League big boys are in Carabao Cup action tonight – and it should see some real top talent given a chance to shine.
Chelsea host Manchester United while Arsenal travel to Liverpool and Aston Villa welcome Wolves.
Some of the youngsters on show have already made a flying start to the new season, but for many it could be their first taste of senior action.
SunSport has picked it’s all-star XI made up of wonderkids poised for some midweek exposure.
Caoimhin Kelleher get the goalkeeping gloves. He made his senior debut for Liverpool last month in the cup against MK Dons.
Our three centre-halves are Chelsea duo Reece James and Fikayo Tomori and Manchester United’s Brandon Williams.
James is best played as a wing-back, but looks well-built to play in a back three.
Tomori has already made impressive strides at Stamford Bridge this season. He has made seven Prem appearances and was called up to the full England squad.
With Manchester United‘s troubles this season there have been calls to blood more youngsters instead of the more experienced players who aren’t cutting it.
Williams will get his chance to show Ole Gunnar Solskjaer what he is all about.
Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, Chelsea’s Mason Mount, Arsenal’s Matteo Guendouzi and Manchester United’s Dan James get the midfield spots.
Elliott is poised to become the youngest ever player to appear at Anfield at 16 years and 209 days.
He signed from Fulham in the summer and is back after a ban for a historical social media tweet mocking Harry Kane.
Mount, Guendouzi and Dan James have all been regulars for their respective clubs this season.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, Man United’s Marcus Rashford and Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi form the attacking three.
Martinelli will find game time hard to come by with the Gunners, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
But when called upon, he has looked to have something special in there and he has scored five goals in six games in all competitions.
