Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has full confidence in their fringe players.
The Reds will miss several frontliners against Chelsea in Sunday's Carabao Cup final.
I think the players coming in have to step up and show people thinking that are wrong," says the Liverpool skipper. "I think that's the only way to do it.
"If others take us lightly then that's their problem. I think we have enough quality to read the opponents. Players who come in have to show that. That fear factor, we don't have influence on that. Everyone has to step up, younger players as well, and everyone has to take responsibility. They also have to enjoy that.
I think everyone wants to get the opportunity and show themselves, and they have to be confident. I'm not worried about that. They just have to go out there, show your qualities. I think if you play for Liverpool, you're quite a good player already, so go out there and make everyone proud."
