Jürgen Klopp is not bothered about the FA Cup in the slightest, but he might be a little more enamoured by it after he saw his youthful side beat Everton by a single goal to nil at Anfield.

Whoever the Reds face next in the FA Cup, the team that Klopp puts out will almost certainly be similar to the one he fielded against Everton. If he's happy enough to play the kids against the Blues, then against pretty much any other side, he would do exactly the same, especially at home.

Harvey Elliott became the youngest ever Liverpool player to compete in the tournament, and the youngest ever Reds man to feature in a derby. Three other Reds teenagers played the majority of the match, and yet the outcome was the same: another Liverpool win.

In future rounds, the team that Klopp fielded might even be stronger, given that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was only fit enough for the bench, Fabinho remains out with his injury, and Naby Keita was also missing. At the back, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren are also to return.

Why, then, could the Reds not go all the way in this competition, even when Klopp will continue to make sweeping changes?

The Reds are well on their way to Premier League glory, so should the club tie up progress there in time for the latter stage of this competition, a few more senior players could come in to supplement the youth later on down the line.

There is also the Champions League to consider, but the Reds squad, boosted by the arrival of Takumi Minamino, the man who made his debut, like Virgil van Dijk, at this stage of the FA Cup against Everton, is more than large enough to compete on multiple fronts. If they can cope amidst a midfield injury crisis like the present, they can certainly cope later in the campaign.

Having already won both the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup this season, the Reds could feasibly expand their silverware haul significantly more over the course of the next few months.

One of the top seeds in Europe and the undoubted favourites for the Premier League title, the Reds are also well in contention for the FA Cup. Klopp might not see it as a great priority, but winning trophies is not something to turn down.

Progress through the rounds while giving his senior players a rest, and that would be ultimate winning combination.
