Liverpool Confirmed Lineup vs Everton: Minamino in for Salah; Robertson misses out

Takumi Minamino comes into the side in place of Mohamed Salah while Andrew Robertson misses out as Liverpool get set to take on Everton.

Jurgen Klopp has made six changes to the side he last fielded, as Liverpool prepare to lock horns with Everton in the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. The first change comes in goal, with Alisson Becker starting in place of Adrian.

The Brazilian will be guarded by a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and James Milner. The interesting bit is that Andrew Robertson does not even find a place on the bench, meaning he has not sufficiently recovered from his fitness trouble. Apart from Robertson, Joe Gomez sits out, with Matip coming in for him.

In midfield, there are a couple of other changes, with captain Jordan Henderson the only one retaining his place. Henderson will be partnered by Fabinho and Naby Keita, who replace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Georginio Wijnaldum.

The final change in the side sees Mohamed Salah drop down to the bench, which means he is not fully fit. Salah is replaced by Takumi Minamino, who makes his first Premier League start. Minamino will provide company to regular starts in attack, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Salah will be an option later in the game, if needed.

Liverpool Starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Milner, Henderson, Fabinho, Keita, Minamino, Firmino, Mane
