Jurgen Klopp has warned his new players what to expect as Liverpool prepare to take on Everton in the first Merseyside derby of the season at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Deadline day signing Arthur Melo is unlikely to make his Reds debut as he is yet to receive international clearance, but Darwin Nunez is back from suspension while Fabio Carvalho could make his first start for the club, having scored off the bench in Liverpool’s two victories over AFC Bournemouth and Newcastle United, with Jordan Henderson ruled out through injury.
The Reds won 4-1 when they made the trip to Goodison last season, but while the Blues are yet to win this season, Klopp is expecting a much tighter affair this time around and believes his side’s stoppage-time victory over the Magpies in midweek was the perfect preparation.
