Critchley on Chelsea, Anfield and Coyle return

Liverpool U23s bring their Premier League 2 season to a close on Tuesday night when they host Chelsea in Premier League 2 at Anfield, with boss Neil Critchley hoping his youngsters can clinch runners-up spot in the division.

Despite being table-toppers for long periods of the campaign, the young Reds fell just short of securing the title, with Arsenal's recent win over West Ham United seeing them crowned champions.

With the likes of Harry Wilson, Matty Virtue, Ovie Ejaria and Corey Whelan going out on loan and Rhian Brewster’s season brought to an early close due to injury, Critchley has been forced to field a much-changed line-up since January.
