Jürgen Klopp has said there are no guarantees Darwin Núñez will always keep his emotions in check but believes the Liverpool striker can handle the ferocity of a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Nunez is available for selection against Everton having served a three-match suspension for headbutting Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen on his Anfield debut. Klopp is convinced the 23-year-old has “learned a lesson” during his time out and will not repeat the mistake that stalled the start of his Liverpool career.
