Jurgen Klopp hails Liverpool strength in depth after five-star derby rout

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were both rested for the derby win over Everton.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp paid testament to the strength of his squad after a side lacking Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino comfortably beat Everton 5-2 in the Merseyside derby.

The victory was the Reds' 14th in 15 league matches and maintained their eight-point lead at top of the Premier League.

Crucially those players he brought in as Salah and Firmino's replacements – Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri – had key roles, with Origi's double taking his tally to five goals in four Anfield derbies and with Shaqiri also scoring.

Forty-three points from a possible 45 is an almost impossible start to the season but Klopp is only focused on keeping the run going.

"It is just a number, 43, but three is the next number when we play against Bournemouth," he added.

"They are not happy with their situation (having lost four in row). They want to strike back so we have to be ready for that.

"That is the only thing I am really thinking about. Stats are cool after the season, but in it, I'm not interested."
