There is one player that Jurgen Klopp will have warned his Liverpool players about ahead of the Merseyside derby on Sunday.

Attacker Richarlison has settled in quickly at Goodison Park after his £35million summer move from Watford.

And, talking in his pre-match press conference, Klopp is well aware of how good the Brazilian is.

“What a player he is”, Klopp gushed on Friday lunchtime.

Klopp was quoted by Paul Joyce on his personal Twitter page ahead of the much anticipated clash.

OPINION

Everton haven’t got a great record against Liverpool and will be fearing the worst and hoping for the best when they visit Anfield in the Sunday afternoon kick-off. Everton have two things going for them. Firstly, Liverpool haven’t had the best if it recently, with their attackers not firing at full strength, and are coming off the back of a disappointing result in the Champions League against PSG. That could go either way though. Their second hope is Richarlison. On his best form he’s unplayable and even though Liverpool’s defence has been super-tight this season, he’s capable of scoring against anyone. He’s not going to be a surprise for Klopp or his Liverpool side though. This is fair warning that Klopp knows exactly where the danger is going to come from on Sunday. Richarlison has already scored six goals for Everton in the Premier league this season, from just 11 games. We still can’t see past a Liverpool win but it should be a fascinating game. Everton are no mugs this season.
