Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez tipped off about Everton's wind-up plans for derby

Robbie Fowler says Darwin Nunez will learn from his red card shocker on his Anfield debut and has backed him to come back with a bang in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

Liverpool's new £85m striker was given his marching orders for a headbutt in his home debut against Crystal Palace last month and has missed their last three games through suspension. But Fowler insists it has not exposed a weakness in his character that can be exploited and believes he will come back from the ban a wiser player against Everton.

“I’m not too bothered by his red card. It doesn’t show a ‘weakness’. It’s not that he can be easily wound up. If he is, then he’d have never survived playing in Uruguay. He’ll be fine,” said Fowler.
