Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says give younger players an opportunity once more in the EFL Cup tie at Liverpool later this month.
A youthful Spurs team booked a fourth-round trip to Anfield on Oct. 25 courtesy of a 5-0 home victory over League One Gillingham last month.
Liverpool, who are not competing in Europe this season, are expected to field a strong XI in the match but Pochettino has challenged the club's young players to impress against Jurgen Klopp's in-form side.
"For me, they are not kids or boys -- they are players, [who can] show and prove that they can compete and have the quality to stay in the first team," Pochettino said.
