Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Joe Gomez is facing the axe from manager Jurgen Klopp.

Carragher says Gomez faces the prospect of being dropped for the Merseyside derby after his disappointing display against Aston Villa.

He told Sky Sports: “I just wonder about it going forward with the performance of Gomez and the performance of Fabinho at Chelsea.

“Certainly, with Henderson to come back in, you would expect Thiago to come back in.

“For the Everton game, you wonder if it would be something they would stick with.

“Maybe take Gomez out for a couple of weeks and give him a breather. He has done brilliant for Liverpool, no doubt.

“But you just think since they came back, a few goals conceded since the restart, the Leeds game, you cannot forget about that, and here [last night]."
