Youngsters Take On Owls

Liverpool Under-18s take on Sheffield Wednesday this morning boosted by the return of wing wizards David Amoo and Alex Kacaniklic.

The pair missed last weekend's 3-2 win over Newcastle United with injury but are back to face the Owls. German youngster Christopher Buchtmann is also in line for his first start of the season for Hughie McAuley’s team at left back.

The young Reds have scored nine goals in their opening four games, of which three have been victories. Their only defeat came 2-0 at Coventry City when they were perhaps unfortunate not to have taken anything from that game.

"We have done well so far this season and we certainly have players in our team that are capable of winning football matches," McAuley told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"We have only lost once so far and we were unlucky against Coventry. The game against Wednesday will be similar in the sense it will be a difficult game. They will try and make things difficult for us and it will be a battle but we have to compete with them and try and let our football do the talking.

"It's good to have Amoo and Kacaniklic available again as they started the season really well. They love to take on defenders and on their day can be a real handful to the opposition.

"Buchtmann is available again and he gives us more options in the wide areas."
