According to reports, Liverpool youth player Trey Nyoni is expected to feature for the first time on Sunday in the League Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur.

It is completely understandable that Trey Nyoni would want to forget his last League Cup appearance for Liverpool.

The young player played the full 90 minutes against Southampton in the previous round and earned his second consecutive appearance. However, he also featured in the painful 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in October. In that match, Slot's side suffered another disappointing loss.

Nyoni was included in the squad at that time, and although he had only one center-back available, he was deployed in a five-back system and was easily overrun.

It is understandable that the young player was not at his best during that period. Since then, he has not been given another opportunity with the first team.

However, everything could change this week. Liverpool will host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as they continue their pursuit of a 10th League Cup title.

Nyoni impressed Iraola in pre-season, and the manager believes the 19-year-old could fill the gap left by Curtis Jones's departure to the midfield.

Iraola said last month: "I'm very happy with Trey. He was excellent in pre-season. Not only in matches, but also in training with our top players, he has reached the required level."

"I have no doubts about Trey. He will be very valuable this season. I hope he gets plenty of match time and shows in daily training the level we have seen from him."

While Nyoni is still awaiting his official Premier League debut, his appearances against Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town this season are almost equal to his entire previous Premier League playing time.

In fact, many fans called for him to come on as a substitute during Saturday's goalless draw between Liverpool and Fulham.

With the season barely a month old, the inactivity of Szoboszlai and Gravenberch is a concern, and Iraola wants to deploy his team more intensively. With Nyoni's youth, he can at least provide energy and pace, and he possesses exceptional qualities and impressive physical attributes.

Iraola previously stated that he would use the first few weeks of the season to determine which partnership is most suitable for the center-back position. At this stage, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister appear to be the preferred options, but neither Nyoni nor Wataru Endo have yet had the opportunity.

For Nyoni, there is a chance he could get an opportunity in midfield, especially on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs' midfield could feature contrasting profiles with Lucas Bergvall and Gallagher.

To date, Nyoni has made 22 appearances for the first team, with 4 substitute appearances, and has earned 46 selections for the squad. He has become an established member of the first team. Now he is ready to take the next step and erase the memory of his last appearance for Liverpool.
