Everton legend Peter Reid admits Sam Allardyce was pleased when he saw Liverpool's team sheet before yesterday's 1-1 draw.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp started the game with Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino on the bench.

Reid told the Daily Mail: "I'm going to hospital on Monday to get the smile taken off my face. I managed to have a little moment with Sam Allardyce after the game and he had a similar expression. He has to be extremely happy.

"Everton weren't good but they've come away with a point. When I saw the Liverpool team I thought we had a chance. It was still uncomfortable to watch at times, but Sam made changes at half-time and Lennon and Schneiderlin gave them more composure and discipline.

"It also allowed Rooney to move up the pitch and affect the game with his pinpoint pass for Calvert-Lewin's penalty."
