In the aftermath Mount shoved someone and has picked up a yellow card and most of the players are in the middle of the pitch. It wasn’t the fight that let them down, it was the quality. That’s what did for them at Anfield in the end. Mount, Havertz and Rudiger all playing on the edge here. Crowd back up as Everton break. Then Rudiger finds himself at the back post and Pickford throws himself across the goal and somehow blocks the goalbound shot. Rudiger loses the ball to Richarlison in the corner and there is a clear vulnerability for Everton to exploit here. Stay with us as we build up to today's 2pm kick-off and instant reaction to Everton's team news. But Pickford scrambles back to somehow paw it clear. Lukaku goes out to warm up and claps the crowd, he's met with a mix of applause and boos in response. Similarly to his midfield partner he's putting in a lot of work in the centre, and perhaps that's justified his inclusion in the side today. Delph now in the book for a late tackle on Mount. There is a bit of bite in this game and with five yellows already I wouldn’t be surprised to see a red.
