Solanke

Big game for the youngster.

There was a huge surprise in the Liverpool team news for this afternoon’s Merseyside derby with Everton, with youngster Dominic Solanke starting for the Reds.

Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho both miss out while Andy Robertson gets a rare start at left-back.

Liverpool fans are pretty taken aback by the big calls made by Klopp, leaving Coutinho and Firmino on the bench. But they seem excited more than anything. It’s still a great line-up, even without their illustrious Brazilian pair. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are still there, let’s not forget.
