Jamie Carragher loved a Merseyside derby

Shaqiri seems set to earn a recall to the Liverpool starting XI for the highly-anticipated clash, after being left on the bench for the midweek Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.A summer signing from Stoke City, the Switzerland international has been a breath of fresh air at Anfield – despite many sceptics fearing he would nothing more than a player to make the numbers up.Despite his sensational start, Carragher revealed on the‘All Together Now’ Everton podcast that he pulled the 27-year-old to one side and gave him a stern warning.“I pulledShaqirion the way out in the mixed zone in Paris,” Carragher said.3

Shaqiri has shone at Anfield, surprising fans and pundits alike

“He came over and said: ‘Hello.’ I said to him: ‘It’s the derby on Sunday and you have to win, you have to win.’ He said: ‘I know.’“Shaqiri will play 100%. I think he’ll go back to the 4-2-3-1 system with Shaqiri on the right. Shaqiri seems to add something a little bit different.”Jurgen Klopp will be forced into a tactical manoeuvre anyway to compensate for the loss of skipper Jordan Henderson. The England vice-captain saw red at Watford and will serve a domestic suspension.With his place in the Reds engine room vacated, Carragher wants to see Naby Keita take his place having not started in the Premier League since mid-September.3

The fiery fixture also promises fireworks

“I’d like to see Keita go in there,” Carragher added.“It was built up that he was going to make a big difference to the midfield but we’ve only seen glimpses of it so far.“You need to get him in the team, you paid a lot of money for this lad. Klopp knew him from Germany. I’d like to see him in there and see what he’s all about. Keita gives you more pace and energy with dynamic running.“I think it will be a difficult game for Liverpool in terms of trying to break Everton down. It will be tight but Liverpool are so strong defensively.”
