Premier League match preview: Everton v Liverpool

Divock Origi has been handed a shock start by Jurgen Klopp in the Merseyside derby vs Everton.

The Liverpool forward scored a late winner vs the Toffees in the reverse fixture at Anfield and has been rewarded for his good form lately.

Roberto Firmino makes the bench after sustaining an ankle injury vs Manchester United and missing the 5-0 win vs Watford midweek.

Klopp's side are aiming to return to the top of the Premier League.
