Everton defender James Tarkowski sends Darwin Nunez message ahead of Liverpool clash

James Tarkowski and Conor Coady have discussed how Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez reacted to being wound up against Crystal Palace but believe he will have learned his lesson from that experience.

The Uruguay forward was handed a straight red when he responded angrily to the antics of Joachim Anderson in his side's 1-1 draw earlier this season. Nunez is available for selection for Saturday's Merseyside derby and his temper has been the subject of interest in the Everton dressing room.

Tarkowski said he expected Nunez, should he play, to be "switched on", however, adding: "If he's playing he is going to be expecting people right on him and I am sure his manager will be in his ear making sure he is switched on. Everyone has moments in their career, especially at a younger age, when you lose your head for a minute but you learn from your experiences and I am sure he will."
