Chelsea have two academy youngsters on the bench for today’s game, and we’d love to see them in action against Liverpool.

Chelsea are down the bare bones in attack right now. Estevao, Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto are all out injured, and youngster Jesse Derry was added to the list on Monday.
Calum McFarlane has changed his formation to mitigate the problem, but has still had to turn to the youth team again to fill his bench.
This time it’s Ryan Kavuma-McQueen and Mathis Eboue who get the call-up.
We’d love to see them get some decent minutes today. This season has fallen apart, and we’ve got little chance of a result today. The one thing that could send us with a good memory would be these youngsters coming on and impressing and giving us some hope for the future.
RKM made his Chelsea debut a month ago when he came on against Port Vale in the FA Cup. Eboue, who is only just 17, is on the bench for the first time for the first time.
We hope we get to see at least one of them in the second half.
Chelsea are shifting formation in today’s game, but to us that’s more to do with the players available than any tactical reason.
You can see Chelsea’s full team for the game in the post here, featuring some interesting choices from McFarlane.
