Carragher urges Klopp to select Keita for Merseyside derby

Jamie Carragher wants Jurgen Klopp to select Naby Keita in the starting XI against Everton in the Merseyside derby this weekend.

Keita’s start to life at Anfield has been a slow one since moving from RB Leipzig before the 2018-19 campaign got underway.

Injuries have impacted Keita and ultimately have not allowed him to get on the pitch, but now that he is fit again, Carragher wants to see his name on the team sheet come Sunday.

“I’d like to see Keita go in there,” Carragher told the ‘All Together Now’ Everton podcast.

“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.”
