LIVERPOOL will take on Young Boys tomorrow with even younger boys in their starting line-up. Missing will be Pepe Reina, skipper Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Joe Allen and Martin Kelly.
Pepe Reina, who is only one game short of equalling Ray Clemence’s club record of 80 appearances by a Liverpool goalkeeper in Europe, will be rested ahead of Sunday's visit of Manchester United to Anfield.
Brad Jones is set to start in goal with Peter Gulacsi providing cover on the bench.
Brendan Rodgers will take a youthful squad to Switzerland including Samed Yesil, Suso, Andre Wisdom, Conor Coady, Adam Morgan, Jon Flanagan, Jack Robinson and Dani Pacheco.
The manager wants to avoid a repeat of what happened after the play-off round second leg with Hearts last month.
He fielded a strong line-up against the Scots at Anfield but the Reds paid the price for their exertions three days later when they were soundly beaten by Arsenal.
Oussama Assaidi will make his Liverpool debut a month after he was snapped up from Heerenveen for £3million.
Despite the emphasis on youth, there will still be plenty of experience in the team which faces Young Boys at the Stade de Suisse.
Nuri Sahin is expected to start his second game for the Reds following his loan move from Real Madrid.
The Turkey international midfielder, who was an unused substitute at Sunderland last weekend, needs to build up his match fitness and will be hoping to stake a claim for Sunday’s game against United.
Jamie Carragher, who will skipper the Reds, is set to partner Sebastian Coates at the back with Jose Enrique, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing also involved.
Raheem Sterling will travel to Switzerland but may only play a cameo role ahead of Sunday’s game with United.
