Liverpool defender Martin Kelly is excited about Saturday's derby clash at Everton.

Kelly is eager to play a part in the derby clash having been on the bench for last season's corresponding fixture with the Blues.

The 21-year-old's appearance against Wolves was his second start in succession following a hamstring problem - and the defender believes he's back in peak condition.

Kelly told liverpoolfc.tv: "I'm feeling good. The medical staff have worked me a lot this week to keep me on top of the hamstring injury. It was about being sensible against Wolves, and I thought I did that.

"The medical staff have worked really hard with me and we've come through it together. I'm made up I've played the last two games and I'm feeling fitter than ever."

He added: "I'm really looking forward to playing in the derby, if I'm selected. I was on the bench last season and it was a tough game. They started well and put us under pressure.

"We'll be looking for the win, but it's a derby day and it's always difficult."
