Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says today's derby against Everton will be good for his new players.

Klopp feels it will be a good test for those yet to taste the intensity of a Merseyside derby.

He said, "Yeah, the Merseyside derby is a special game, no doubt about that, but it's a high-pressure game if you want and they all played them. Macca played it for sure [at] the World Cup or with Argentina.

"Dom played Serbia recently in a super-important, high-pressure game, so they are all used to the kind of game. To the exact game not, that's true. But actually, I cannot change that now. I cannot show them a movie of derbies and say that's how it will be because they were all different as well. So I don't think we should make it too big for them.

"I think they are ready for it, no doubt about that. And that's how it is with changes, when really experienced players leave the club then you have to make your own experience again yourself, and that's what we do."
