days when he made his Premier League debut for Liverpool.

Signed from Leeds United January 2005, he kept a clean sheet against Newcastle United at St James' Park in March that year as Graeme Souness' Reds won 1-0.

The future England international played nine games for LFC before joining West Bromwich Albion, where he made more than 100 appearances, and he currently plays for Frank Lampard's Derby County.

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold (18 years, 68 days)

Currently part of Gareth Southgate's England squad at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, it's been a meteoric rise for Scouser Trent Alexander-Arnold, who made his Premier League debut for the Reds in December 2016.

Having been with the Academy since the age of six, Jürgen Klopp gave the youngster his league bow aged 18 years and 68 dayswhen he came on as late substitute for Divock Origi in a 3-0 win at Middlesbrough.

The 2017-18 campaign proved to be a real breakthrough season for the former U16 and U18 captain, who played 33 games and started the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Joe Gomez (18 years, 78 days)

Liverpool clinched the signature of highly-rated young defender Joe Gomez from Charlton Athletic in June 2015 and he was one of five Reds to make their debut under Brendan Rodgers on the opening day of the 2015-16 campaign.

Aged 18 years and 78 days, he was by far the youngest of the quintet, but a serious knee injury curtailed his progress in his first season at Anfield.
