Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to give Manchester United's youngsters some game time against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
United travel to Stamford Bridge as his side bid to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.
Speaking after the win over Norwich on Sunday, Solskjaer indicated he could hand first domestic starts to James Garner and Brandon Williams.
Garner had appeared as a late substitute in the 3-1 victory at Carrow Road.
“For just 10, 15 minute Jimmy played as well. I thought he was excellent, because he’s calmed us down when we wanted to see the game out," Solskjaer said.
“So we’ve not made a decision on who is going to play [at Chelsea] but you’ll probably see the two of them [Garner and Williams].
“For us, the youngsters have stepped up in a difficult period. But in the end, they’ll be stronger for it.”
Solskjaer and his players arrived at Carrington on Tuesday morning to begin their preparations for the clash with Frank Lampard's side.
Mason Greenwood, who also appeared off the bench at Norwich, is in line to start after scoring against Rochdale in the previous round.
The likes of Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Marcos Rojo are all expected to get some more minutes.
Paul Pogba will again miss out for United with the ankle problem that is set to sideline him until December.
Solskjaer singled out midfielders Fred and Andreas Pereira for praise after impressing in Pogba's absence.
“Fred will probably take Paul’s position for a while now and he’s been brilliant for us, but Andreas has grown the last few games,” Solskjaer added.
“His energy and running, chasing – he's a different sort of no.10, he can play also in the central positions.
“So I’m delighted for Andreas – great professional, great attitude. He does his job to the best of his abilities.”
