Just the one match this week during the international break. The Liverpool u18s were in action on Saturday against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their third playoff match at the Kirkby Academy.
Neil Critchley fielded a very young team that could have almost been passed off as an u16s team.
Liverpool took the lead when Yan Dhanda showed superb composure to find Trent Alexander-Arnold who slotted in.
But Wolves replied fairly quickly when a cross found their forward inside the box, he then side footed it first time through the legs of Liverpool keeper Shamal George to make it 1-1.
Liverpool came closest to finding the winner when Alexander-Arnold slammed a shot against the crossbar in the last minute. In the end, both sides had to settle for a point.
