Everton boss David Moyes is weighing up throwing the kids into Premier League action for the remainder of the season.
The Liverpool Echo says Moyes has a proven track record for giving youth a chance and with his side's hopes of top six football receding he could freshen-up his team selection by turning to his crop of emerging talents.
While he will still treat each remaining Premier League game as must-win, an injury ravaged first team squad could see some of those players promoted to the fringe of the first team.
Moyes has already handed a spot on the bench to Ross Barkley, Shane Duffy, Jose Baxter and Magaye Gueye this season and all four - along with January signing Apostolos Vellios - could get further chances to shine before the season ends.
