  Anfield outfit fail to fill full quota...

   

  Liverpool have named just 21 senior players in their 25-man Premier League matchday squad.
  
  The new regulations state that for the 2010-11 season, teams must register a maximum of 17 'non homegrown' and minimum of eight 'homegrown players'. The homegrown players - such as Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole and Jay Spearing - are those trained for three years by any English or Welsh club before the age of 21.
  
  Once the list is named, no changes can be made until the close of the transfer window. Anyone outside the 25 over the age of 21 cannot be selected and would be forced to stay on the sidelines unless they repeat Craig Bellamy's loan to a Football League side.
  
  Clubs can, however, use an unlimited number of players under the age of 21 regardless of nationality. This law allows manager Roy Hodgson to call on un-named youth products Peter Gulacsi, Martin Kelly, Daniel Wilson, Jonjo Shelvey, Daniel Pacheco, Nathan Eccleston and David Ngog.
