Jurgen Klopp has handed Takumi Minamino his Liverpool debut as he rings the changes for an FA Cup third-round clash with Everton this afternoon.

Minamino officially joined the Reds from RB Salzburg on 1 January but could not be registered in time to take on Sheffield United at Anfield a day later and so will make his bow against the Toffees on Sunday instead.

Thursday's 2-0 win over the Blades marked the end of a packed festive fixture list that saw Klopp rely on a shrinking core of players due to a number of injury issues, a fact that has prompted significant rotation for this fixture.

Adrian starts in goal, while Nathaniel Phillips - recently recalled from a loan stint with Stuttgart - is makes his first-team debut in an unfamiliar starting XI that will boost Everton's hopes of a first Anfield win since 1999.
