Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he has some difficult decisions to make ahead of the FA Cup Merseyside derby third round tie at home to Everton after his side incurred another injury.

Midfielder Naby Keita became the eighth player to be added to the injured list, having sustained a groin problem in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United which restored their 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

With defenders Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren and Nathaniel Clyne, midfielders Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and forward Rhian Brewster all out, Klopp finds himself down to just 12 senior outfield players, plus new signing Takumi Minamino and a number of youth team members for the visit of their near-neighbours.

In trying to manage the game they racked up the most passes – 874 – they have ever made in a Premier League match, and Blades boss Chris Wilder admits his side uncharacteristically did little to affect the course of the game.

"From our point of view I was disappointed because I didn't think we laid a glove on them. I think the scoreline flattered us," he said.

"I thought Dean Henderson (the goalkeeper) was the difference between it being three, four or five.

"When you come here you have to try to get a foothold in the game and we couldn't have got off to a worst start."
