"It highlighted the paucity of resources in attack when Dominic Calvert-Lewin was again injured. "Maybe Klopp might have to consider playing four up front – a return to that ‘Fab Four’ (when it was Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Firmino and Phillipe Coutinho) given the awesome resources he could soon have at his disposal especially with Luis Diaz to also return. "Then Liverpool remembered who they were, a Klopp side, an attacking force, and they flooded forward. Despite the understandable pre-match apprehension, this was in fact exactly what the manager and his charges needed. "There was a roar also in that he was replaced by Diogo Jota, back at last from injury as was Roberto Firmino. Liverpool prospered on the counter-attack and from Everton clumsiness to secure a comfortable victory in the 242nd Merseyside derby. The reinforcements are arriving – Virgil van Dijk was unneeded from the bench - and Liverpool have so much ground to make up… "There was a new element to victory, too: a Cody Gakpo goal. Liverpool could celebrate the parts played by a fourth and fifth forward, too: Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino made their comebacks as substitutes. And to torment their local rival," For Jurgen Klopp and his side, meanwhile, victory sees them move up to ninth place in the Premier League table.

Stefan Bajcetic was named man-of-the-match for his coming-of-age performance against Everton on Monday evening.
But Erik ten Hag is yet to give the 19-year-old a chance in the first team this season, suggesting the teenager isn't quite ready to make an impact. Playing in his first Merseyside derby, some were sceptical whether the young Spaniard was the right pick to play against a Sean Dyche team. He struggled - like every other Liverpool player - in the 3-0 defeat to Wolves, but the match against Everton saw Bajcetic instantly become a fan-favourite.

Pape Matar Sarr could also start with Spurs light on central midfield options. The big injury news ahead of this game was a huge blow for Spurs as Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a ruptured ACL in his left knee. That said, this seems like a good time for Spurs to play Milan. Add in some key injury issues and Tottenham are up against it heading to play at the reigning Italian champs. 16:00 Arsenal v Wolves 16:00 Aston Villa v Brighton 16:00 Brentford v Man City 16:00 Chelsea v Newcastle 16:00 Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest 16:00 Everton v AFC Bournemouth 16:00 Leeds v Spurs 16:00 Leicester v West Ham 16:00 Man Utd v Fulham 16:00 Southampton v Liverpool Chelsea has some work to do while surprising Fulham, Brentford and Brighton are hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Dyche set Everton up in a 4-5-1 formation and whipped crosses in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to attack. However, they have only lost once in their last 27 derbies against Everton, so that will give Liverpool hope. And that should be a thank you to them and not a torture.” It was a real derby, difficult opponent to play against but we played a game we wanted to play, not a game Everton wanted to play.” Liverpool moves back into ninth place, ahead of Chelsea by a point with 32 points on the season.

Michael Ball has his say on Everton's performance in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
I’m not picking on him here as many others were culpable too but I remember an example in the second half when Iwobi had nobody around him and he had 30-40 yards of grass in front of him to run into, but he turned around and the ball ended up being passed back to our centre-half. That was an opportunity against our arch rivals to show he was the main man on the pitch but nobody in a blue shirt did that and instead they shrank within themselves and froze on the occasion. [Vitalii Mykolenko](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/vitalii-mykolenko) was going for the first goal. Jordan was very erratic with his kicking and was slipping but he wasn’t alone in that respect as so many He’s not been helped by Mykolenko but Jordan seems to have totally misjudged the situation, trying to second guess what Liverpool will do and made it so easy for Salah. Ellis Simms came in up front and you can’t knock the kid because it was an opportunity for him to be a hero but we didn’t help him as a team. With the power that they have, I thought our midfield three would be able to drive forward with the ball and cause Liverpool problems but not once did I see a midfielder run more than five yards with a football. Yes, it’s a game against our arch rivals and form can go out of the window at times in these fixtures, but Liverpool were under pressure because they hadn’t won a Premier League game since the turn of the year. Andy Robertson would have been thinking ‘brilliant, you didn’t even try to take me on’. Goals change games and we’re just not scoring enough of them. Liverpool’s defenders were making unforced errors early on but we didn’t get chance to punish those mistakes because we were so passive and let them dictate what they wanted to do. All over the pitch we were very weak.
