LIVERPOOL 1-0 EVERTON | JONES (70)
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp made nine changes to his side, giving starts to three teenagers, while his Italian counterpart Carlo Ancelotti opted for a largely full-strength Everton lineup.
Everton had the better chances, with Liverpool keeper Adrian foiling goalbound efforts from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Mason Holgate and Richarlison in the first half, but a youthful Liverpool side played the more enterprising football.
Jones, a local-born academy product, delivered the killer blow in the st minute with a superb curling effort into the top corner, leaving Everton without a win against their rivals since October, (**************************************************************************. ******Liverpool XI:Adrian, Milner, Gomez, Phillips, Williams, Lallana, Chirivella, Jones, Minamino, Elliott, Origi
Everton XI:Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Mina, Digne, Sidibe, Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison

- Carlo Ancelotti throws his arms up in frustration as Richarlison elects to shoot rather than poke the ball to the overlapping Lucas Digne. The Brazilian does win the corner but it’s easily dealt with by Liverpool. Still plodding along here at Anfield.
(**********************************************************************************************************: Fizzed it!Neco Williams has probably been Liverpool’s best player this afternoon and clearly isn’t lacking confidence. He strides forward before unleashing a powerful effort that Jordan Pickford just about clings to.
:
- You just know a goal is going to set this one alight. It all feels very cagey still with Everton clearly worried about falling victim to a significantly weakened Liverpool side. Anyway, Elliott draws a foul from Digne on the right channel. He plays it short and the chances goes begging. Don’t start me on short free-kicks / corners because It’ll only end in disaster.

(****************************************************************************************************************:Agonisingly close for Everton again as Theo Walcott weaves down the right. He floats it into the penalty area where the ball skims the head of Dominic Calvert-Lewin before dribbling out of play.
(********************************************************************************************************************:
He’s done it again! Adrian makes another save but another that was struck directly at him. Theo Walcott lays it on a plate for the advancing Richarlison, who leathers it at the goalkeeper. Is it going to be one of those days at Anfield again for Everton …?
(**********************************************************************************************************************:
- ********************** Neco Williams gathers a loose ball and swipes it just wide of the far post. Carlo Ancelotti is stood in the technical area looking concerned. His midfield partnership of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Morgan Schneiderlin is non-existent.
- The insanely talented Harvey Elliott wins a corner off Lucas Digne but the delivery is poor and it’s cleared. Only for a moment of course as Liverpool continue to pour it on.

(**************************************************************************************************************************:
- Lucas Digne plays a delightful cross field pass over to the advancing Djibril Sidibe but the Monaco loanee makes a real hash of it. Everton getting most joy from arrowed balls down the middle with Dominic Calvert-Lewin causing havoc.
************************************************************************************************************************:I mean, Everton really should win this match now. Liverpool are down to the bare bones in-terms of experience and Nathaniel Phillips shows his inexperience when dragging down Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Gylfi Sigurdsson swings the delivery in and Mason Holgate times his run to perfection but heads directly at Adrian. Two massive openings for Everton gone begging.
(******************************************************************************************************************************:Terrible news for Jurgen Klopp’s side as James Milner goes down injured. He’s shaking his head to say he can’t continue and teenager Yasser Larouci replaces him. Joe Gomez now the most experienced defender on the pitch.
8:Nice opening from Liverpool with Neco Williams striding down the right and whipping a firm cross over to Divock Origi. Yerry Mina glances it away.
Save! Oh you’re kidding! Theo Walcott can’t believe he’s onside when one-on-one with Adrian. He prods the ball back to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who thrashes one straight at the Liverpool goalkeeper with the goal at his mercy.

LIVERPOOL 1-0 EVERTON
FT:Liverpool have beaten Merseyside rivals Everton to reach the FA Cup 4th-round. Very impressive display from Jurgen Klopp’s youthful side but how bad were the Toffees? A humiliating defeat at Anfield.
340:That was probably the final chance for the visitors. Richarlison swings in a ball from the right and Moise Kean looks for a spectacular volley that flies into orbit.
************************************************************************************Three minutes of added time. Could play all night and I don’t think Everton would score.
Jordan Pickford thumps a long ball into the Liverpool box and there’s players in numbers at the back post but none can get a touch.
(*********************************************************************************************: Corner to Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp affords himself a smile. He’s watching the kids take apart their full-strength rivals with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm.
) Divock Origi dances past a couple of blue shirts before laying it off for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who fires a clean effort at Jordan Pickford.

******************************************************************************************: Corner to Everton after Theo Walcott smashes a cross against substitute Yasser Larouci, who’s been excellent today. The delivery is cleared out to the arriving Morgan Schneiderlin, who skies it high into the stands.
Bernard replaces Theo Walcott. Rhian Brewster on for Harvey Elliott.

83: GOAL! Pick that one out! That’s a sublime goal from Curtis Jones!
The – year-old collects the ball from Divock Origi before cutting inside and launching an inch-perfect curling effort that beats Jordan Pickford and cannons in off the underside of the crossbar.
(**************************************************************************************************:Jurgen Klopp makes his second change of the afternoon as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain replaces debutant Takumi Minamino, who’s had a fairly inauspicious start to life at Anfield.
Divock Origi decides to fizz one from – yards out . It’s dipping and awkward but Jordan Pickford manages to palm it clear for a corner.
69:What was that ?! Theo Walcott breaks away on the right and has two options inside. He looks to hook the ball over to the unmarked Richarlison, but thumps it directly out of play on the opposite side of the field. Dreadful.
**********************************************************************************:This has been marginally better than that Wolves vs Manchester United match last night. Appalling goalless draw at Molineux. Carlo Ancelotti has had enough of Gylfi Sigurdsson as he brings Fabian Delph on to replace him. Moise Kean on for Seamus Coleman. Djibril Sidibe moves to right back.
(******************************************************************************************************: ******** Yeah… nothing happened with that corner.
(********************************************************************************************************: Lucas Digne is the first to be booked after clipping Harvey Elliott’s heels. Pedro Chirivella takes the set-piece that Yerry Mina heads behind for a corner.

(**********************************************************************************************************: And we’re back underway. The game is there to be won and Carlo Ancelotti will want a lead before Jurgen Klopp deploys two of Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 EVERTON
(HT:It’s still in the balance at Anfield. Everton have spurned five good chances to make the breakthrough while Jordan Pickford reacted well to deny Divock Origi.
(****************************************************************************************************: And again … Theo Walcott and Richarlison have a 2 vs 1 situation but the cutback for the Brazilian is poor and the chance goes begging.
(****************************************************************************************************************:It’s all gone a bit flat as we approach the break with neither side playing particularly pretty stuff.
(****************************************************************************************************************: Save!Outrageous save from Jordan Pickford to deny Divock Origi. The Belgian spins into space before firing low across the Everton stopper, who palms it away at full stretch.
(*******************************************************************************************************************:Adam Lallana breathes a sigh of relief when stooping to head Theo Walcott’s cross behind for a corner. That landed flush on his head and looked like it was going to fly past Adrian. Anyway, Yerry Mina glances the resulting set-piece wide.
35:Wide from Takumi Minamino, who had spun past Seamus Coleman in the build up. The Japan international then pops up in the penalty area to glance Divock Origi’s wonderful in-swinger wide. Liverpool’s best chance of the afternoon.
:
(************************************************************************************************************************: Liverpool’s second string have the edge here. Even look tentative and dare I say a little light-weight as Gylfi Sigurdsson is easily shrugged off the ball for the second time today.
Liverpool **** enjoying a significant period of pressure in Everton territory. The bright Neco Williams finds Adam Lallana on the inside and the midfielder wellies it miles over the crossbar. Honestly, this hasn’t been a great watch if you value quality above passion.
