Jürgen Klopp says Liverpool signed the best midfielders in the Bundesliga when they acquired Naby Keïta in 2018 and Thiago Alcântara two years later. The duo cost a combined £81m but it has taken them time to make a consistent impact, something Everton may find out to their coston Sunday.
While eight-figure transfer fees may raise expectations, Keïta and Thiago have taken their time to peak in a Liverpool shirt, honing their qualities in the centre of midfield.
