Highly-rated teenage midfielder Josh McEachran is assured of a starting berth with Ancelotti confident the 17-year-old is prepared for the challenge.
And the youngsters who shine in continental competition could force their way into the manager's thoughts for the forthcoming Premier League trip to Newcastle.
Important
Ancelotti said: "Josh will start against Zilina.
"He is ready because he has personality and he will play an important position on the pitch as a holding midfielder.
"I think he can put in a good performance. He is able to do this.
"As well as McEachran other young players will be involved in the Zilina game. There's Kakuta, Van Aanholt, Bruma. I want to change things for this game.
"It is important. We can use this game to give the opportunity to young players to improve their experience. We need to take one point and it is possible to win.
"If I have the possibility this is the way I have to manage the club and the team. There are a lot of games and sometimes you have to change."
