Jurgen Klopp has made two changes to his Liverpool side as Everton visit Anfield for the Merseyside Derby on Saturday.

Dejan Lovren replaces Ragnar Klavan at the heart of the Liverpool defence, as he partners Joel Matip. Meanwhile, Lucas Leiva is in for Adam Lallana, who has been forced to miss the game due to the thigh injury he picked up on England duty.

For the visitors, Ronald Koeman has been forced to make one big change to his side, as Mason Holgate has replaced Seamus Coleman, who suffered a horrific leg injury last week. Matthew Pennington is the other change in the side, replacing Morgan Schneiderlin to slot into a back-three.
