Harvey Elliott is in action for Liverpool’s under-23s this afternoon as they take on Chelsea in Premier League 2.
The 18-year-old wasn’t named in Jurgen Klopp’s squad to face Watford at Anfield, but he’s getting some much-needed minutes with Barry Lewtas’ side.
Elliott played 64 minutes of Liverpool’s FA Cup quarter-final clash against Nottingham Forest before the international break, but hasn’t featured in the league since the 2-0 win over Leicester back in February.

The youngster was awarded some minutes for England’s under-21 side as he played the full 90 minutes as they beat Andorra 4-1 in their European Championship qualifying group. He was, however, restricted to the bench for their game against Albania earlier this week.
Elliott has made just 10 appearances for the senior side this season, but he’ll certainly have a part to play in the coming weeks for the all important run-in.
