Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton is ready for more first team chances in the coming weeks.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to turn to his youngsters and fringe players once more with the Reds having a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal along with an FA Cup third round tie at home to Shrewsbury Town.

And Morton, speaking to the official Liverpool matchday programme, says: "I feel like the manager rewarded me for good performances in the Carabao Cup by giving me my Premier League and Champions League debuts.

"I couldn't be more thankful to him for it.

"The Carabao Cup is massive for us young players. It's not that the gaffer doesn't care about it, he really does - he cares about every game as much as the next one.

"But it also gives him a chance to showcase the depth of the squad. It shows that if injuries do happen there's no fear that Liverpool don't have enough players or good lads to come in.

"Playing in these games is a big step for me in my career, in my life, because Liverpool is the club I love and the club I want to play for for the rest of my life.

"Norwich, Preston, Arsenal, Porto... they were just massive moments in my career and now I'm striving for more."
