Ryan Gravenberch has been handed his full Premier League debut for Liverpool against Everton in Saturday lunchtime's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
The former Bayern Munich man replaces Harvey Elliott in one of four changes from the 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion two weekends ago, as Diogo Jota, Kostas Tsimikas and Ibrahima Konate all come back into the XI.
Following his one-game suspension, Jota demotes Darwin Nunez to the bench to start up top alongside Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, while Tsimikas unsurprisingly deputises for Andy Robertson, who will soon undergo surgery on the shoulder injury he picked up while playing for Scotland.
Meanwhile, Konate has forced his way back into defence over Joel Matip, while Caoimhin Kelleher has recovered from a knee issue to make the bench, but Cody Gakpo is not involved.
As for Everton, Sean Dyche has named an unchanged team from their 3-0 win over Bournemouth before the international break, meaning Dominic Calvert-Lewin gets the nod in attack over Beto.
Idrissa Gueye has returned from the knock which kept him out of the victory over the Cherries, but James Garner - who opened the scoring a fortnight ago - continues in a central position alongside Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
