00:00Pauls, Martin, Houghton, Lewington and Boateng all miss out.
00:03They're all on the bench.
00:05In come Moore, Williams, Gilby, Dickinson and Bowery.
00:09There's a change in formation too.
00:12He's gone with a 4-4-2 instead of their usual 3-5-2.
00:20And Jürgen Klopp, announced this week as FIFA's coach of the year,
00:25gives debuts to three youngsters, Kweev Kelleher, in goal.
00:3016-year-old Harvey Elliott plays up front,
00:33becoming the youngest player ever to start a game for Liverpool
00:36and the second youngest ever to appear.
00:38And 19-year-old striker, very highly rated,
00:42a debut for Rian Brewster,
00:44who won the Golden Boot at the 2017 Under-17 World Cup.
00:51Some experience in there too.
00:54So Lovren, Keita, Lallana, Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain
00:58are offering the Naus.
01:00The rest offer youth and...
01:09Oh, Lovren's got himself in trouble here.
01:12Bowery wants a little pullback.
01:14Will he get it?
01:16Kelleher is there for Liverpool,
01:18Ndombe on the turn.
01:19Well, he was determined, Ndombe,
01:22to try and fashion himself an opportunity.
01:27Well, Bowery was in a good position
01:29and it all came about because
01:31Dejan Lovren got himself in a tangle here.
01:37Sam Ndombe nicked it away from him.
01:39There he perhaps could have played in.
01:41Bowery.
01:43And in the end, put over the top of the crossbar.
01:48From a good position by Conor McGrandalls,
01:52who'd be disappointed with that.
01:56Adam Lallana.
01:59Jones.
02:00Jones playing in Milner.
02:01Brewster is in the middle.
02:03Elliot too.
02:04James Milner here looking to take on George Williams.
02:08Milner has beaten Williams.
02:09Still Milner.
02:10Drove it in.
02:11Elliot hits the bar.
02:14Brewster's header lands on top of the net.
02:17Well, nearly a debut goal for Harvey Elliot.
02:20Hit the underside of the crossbar.
02:22Great play by James Milner here to beat Williams.
02:28And Elliot firing it from close range
02:31onto the underside of the bar.
02:37Well, if that had gone in,
02:39he would have become Liverpool's youngest ever goal scorer.
02:43Here he is again, Milner.
02:45Into Jones.
02:47Jones now with a chance to get the shot away,
02:50which is well saved by Stuart Moore.
02:53Hit it well.
02:56Good save.
03:00Elliot.
03:04Elliot's little clip.
03:06Ball in is a beauty and the header is just wide from Milner.
03:11Lovely ball in by Elliot that.
03:13Well, Milner set up Elliot for his big chance earlier
03:17and Elliot returned a compliment here with a lovely
03:21left-footed, floated ball onto the head of James Milner.
03:24Couldn't quite finish it.
03:27Lovely bit of play by the youngster.
03:32Now Milner.
03:33Nombe to take on Dejan Lovren.
03:37Ball kept in play neatly by Callum Britton.
03:40Back to Nombe again.
03:42Nombe's cross.
03:43Barry's little flick and lifted over the top.
03:46Chance that for Gilby.
03:48That's twice now.
03:50They've had opportunities from reasonably close range here.
03:54Nombe did really well.
03:56Got the cross in in the end.
03:57Bowery didn't get much of a contact on it.
04:00And Gilby.
04:07Keita.
04:08Milner.
04:09Most of Liverpool's best work has involved Milner.
04:11There's another one.
04:12And Brewster didn't quite get anything on it.
04:19Well, Milner's creating havoc at times in this game.
04:23It's a lovely ball in.
04:25Brewster very close to getting something on it.
04:27Maybe should have done.
04:31Oh, he's a whisker away.
04:34Precious little space for Liverpool to work in
04:37when they get into the final third.
04:38Lots of white shirts always in the way.
04:40And that's a poor effort from Keita.
04:43That's what that kind of frustration does.
04:50In from Oxlade-Chamberlain.
04:53Britain's clearing header.
04:55Milner driving it.
04:56Oh, Moore spilled it.
04:57And he's pushed it in.
04:58It's a goal for Liverpool.
05:00It's a horrible, horrible moment for Stuart Moore
05:04in the MK Don's goal.
05:06But Liverpool have the lead
05:08and James Milner will take the credit for it.
05:15Horrible moment for the keeper.
05:18Seem to be completely caught out by this.
05:22Well hit by Milner.
05:28It's almost an own goal.
05:32I think that
05:35the powers that be
05:36who decide on these things
05:38will spare Stuart Moore that indignity
05:40and give the goal to James Milner.
05:43Certainly the stadium announcer has done so.
05:47Oh, the little boy on his feet
05:49behind him was
05:52first to what was about to happen.
05:57Brewster.
06:01He's had this ball in.
06:03He's had this ball in.
06:05Elliot's side netting.
06:11Joe Walsh put it straight back
06:13into the path of Elliot here.
06:17Worked it onto his right foot
06:18and hit the shot
06:19but
06:20wrong side of the post.
06:34Down for Liverpool.
06:36Flak stays down for him.
06:37Okay, Gons.
06:38Nombe here.
06:39Lovren covering.
06:41I think Kate's
06:43worth chasing.
06:45McRandles has reached it.
06:47Joe Gomez in front of him.
06:51Crosses, flicked on
06:52and hit the outside of the post
06:54from Bowery.
06:57Russell Martin with the flick on.
07:00Bowery got some kind of contact on it
07:03and it just smudged
07:04the outside of the post.
07:10Unlucky.
07:13It's a really good ball in
07:14from Gilday.
07:16Good header too
07:16by Martin.
07:17Milner was there
07:18inevitably to make it difficult.
07:20Goes to Oxlade-Chamberlain.
07:23Oxlade-Chamberlain to
07:25Herva.
07:31Slaps, really, by Elliot.
07:40Brewster.
07:41Lallana.
07:43Jones.
07:49Milner.
07:58Milner.
08:00Elliot.
08:02Lallana.
08:04Milner.
08:06Milner's cross.
08:07Attack to the back post for 2-0.
08:09Great header by Kijana Herva.
08:15That's a great header.
08:20Liverpool's teenage Dutch right-back
08:23with a flying header at the back post
08:26which has almost certainly put them
08:28into round 4 of the Carabao Cup.
08:31Milner, who had a goal,
08:34now has an assist.
08:36This is a brilliant header.
08:40Two white-shirted defenders
08:42standing planted on the ground
08:46and a flying Dutchman arrived
08:48between them
08:48with a superb header.
08:51MK dance nil Liverpool to
08:54Kijana Herva.
09:03That's a chance though.
09:05The shot comes in
09:06and Kelleher saves.
09:09Red vice there
09:10and Liverpool won the ball back.
09:11Lallana to Kiravela.
09:13That's a decent ball forward.
09:14Slade-Chamberlain.
09:15Hit it well
09:16and hit the post.
09:17Hit it really well.
09:19Nearly rebounded.
09:21Blocked by a combination
09:23of Jones and Elliot.
09:26Forward 4-MK dance
09:27from Callum Britton
09:28to Hiram Boateng.
09:30Boateng's cross.
09:31Bowery!
09:32Kelleher's saved!
09:33Extraordinary save.
09:36Bowery denied.
09:42Terrific save.
09:43This was
09:48Boateng's ball in.
09:50Close range.
09:52Jordan Bowery
09:53did everything right
09:54and Kelleher got in the way.
09:58Flag then went up
09:59against Boateng
10:01when it came back to him
10:02in an offside position.
10:03But make no mistake about it.
10:05That header would have counted
10:06but for Kelleher's save.
10:09This was Oxlade-Chamberlain.
10:11Very nearly making it three
10:12and let's give Moore
10:13some credit.
10:15I think he's got a hand on that.
10:16It's a very good save.
10:17Well, yeah.
10:19That was well-anticipated
10:20by Walsh.
10:21Walsh forward to Nombe.
10:23They really want a goal here.
10:24MK Dons.
10:25Nombe.
10:26Bowery in a good position.
10:27Here he is, Jordan Bowery.
10:29Deflected
10:31by who else?
10:32James Milner
10:33It's a corner.
10:38McRandles.
10:40Britain.
10:45Four in the middle.
10:48Five in the middle.
10:49Six in the middle.
10:49Towards the back post it goes.
10:51Kelleher only taps it away.
10:54Williams with the effort.
10:55Lovren with the block
10:56and it's a corner.
