Liverpool name Coutinho, Firmino on bench vs. Everton; Solanke, Ox start

LIVERPOOL -- Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino were both named among the substitutes for Liverpool against Everton at Anfield on Sunday.

The Brazilian duo, who both started the 7-0 midweek win over Spartak Moscow, are on the bench for the Merseyside derby as Dominic Solanke is in line to earn his second-ever Premier League start.

Sadio Mane and top scorer Mohamed Salah will accompany Solanke, 20, as part of Liverpool's front line.

With Alberto Moreno injured, Andrew Robertson will play at left-back, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is due to start in a midfield role.

Meanwhile, Daniel Sturridge is not part of the matchday squad, having been ruled out due to a tight hamstring.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce selected two of Solanke's fellow Under-20 World Cup winners in his starting XI, with Jonjoe Kenny in defence and Dominic Calvert-Lewin alongside veteran Wayne Rooney in attack behind centre-forward Oumar Niasse.

Full Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Klavan, Robertson, Henderson, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Solanke.

Full Everton XI: Pickford; Kenny, Martina, Williams, Holgate; Gueye; Calvert-Lewin, Rooney, Davies, Sigurdsson; Niasse.
