Liverpool's young talent, Rio Ngumoha, will be setting his sights on a starting spot against West Ham this weekend. The 17-year-old has made a strong impression when given the opportunity this season. Ngumoha was instrumental in Liverpool's triumph over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The youngster has brought a much-needed injection of pace and flair to Liverpool this season, most notably with his spectacular last-minute winner against Newcastle earlier in the campaign.
