‘Start him’: Carragher says Klopp has got to play £140k-a-week Liverpool star v Everton

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged Jurgen Klopp to start Darwin Nunez against Everton today.

Responding to the Liverpool Echo on Twitter, Carragher said Nunez should play to give Roberto Firmino a break.

The Reds face off against the Toffees at Goodison Park in a 12:30pm kickoff in the Premier League.

Nunez is available again for Liverpool after serving his three-match suspension.

The Anfield summer signing picked up a red card for headbutting Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen last month.

Meanwhile, Firmino has been in impressive form for the Reds and has netted three times in his last two outings.

However, Carragher feels Firmino could do with a break as three games in a week “won’t be easy for him”.

And considering attack is “one of the few areas we can freshen up”, Klopp should make the most of it.

Not since the first match against Fulham has Klopp had the luxury of picking between four forwards.

It’ll be interesting to see who the Liverpool manager opts to start against Everton.

Firmino is in amazing form and giving him another consecutive start isn’t a bad option by any means.

However, Carragher’s argument is also convincing – Nunez is fully fit and raring to go.

The £140,000-a-week star will be eager to make amends for his mistake against Palace.

And what better game to do so than the Merseyside derby?
