Republic of Ireland youngster Caoimhin Kelleherwill start between the sticks for Liverpool against Arsenal on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old made his Reds debut in last month’s 2-0 win at League One outfit MK Dons in the third round of Carabao Cup.
Despite Alisson’s return from injury dumping Adrian back the bench, Kelleher has been assured of game-time in the competition.
Liverpool assistant boss Pepijn Lijnders said: “For us, Ali is our No.1 – more than a No.1 I would say!
“We have Adrian, who did an unbelievable job and if something happens with Ali, Adrian is our No.2 and then has to do the job.
“But in this League Cup, it is Caoimhin’s competition. As I said before the MK Dons game, with youth development, with these moments when they are in between the U23s and the first team, consistency is very important.
“He had a good game and he is preparing for another one. It will be special for him playing at Anfield.”
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah is fit to face Arsenal despite limping off in the final stages of Sunday’s win against Tottenham.
The Egyptian was back in training on Monday and has been cleared to feature when the Gunners visit Anfield.
“Mo is fine,” said Lijnders.
“Towards the end of the game it is more precaution because the ankle gets more tired and he feels it a little bit more and we have to take him off. But he is fine, he is good.
“All the others are fit, hungry and ready to go.”
