Jurgen Klopp placed his faith in Darwin Nunez and young duo Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho for their Merseyside derby showdown against Everton at Goodison Park.
The German had hinted that Uruguayan summer signing Nunez, suspended in their last three games following his dismissal against Crystal Palace, would return to the lineup for the clash with Frank Lampard's men in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
The eyes of Premier League defenders would have lit up when they saw how easily the 23-year-old was triggered by Joachim Andersen during the draw with Palace in August, but Klopp insisted he had no worries throwing the big-money striker straight back in, in the red hot atmosphere against the Toffees.
