Liverpool: Fans want Fabinho at centre half against Everton in Joel Matip’s absence

Some Liverpool fans believe that Fabinho should be the man to start at centre back alongside the Dutch colossus Virgil van Dijk in the upcoming game against Everton.

It’s the international break right now but that has not stopped conversation sparking about the upcoming Premier League action. As far as Jurgen Klopp’s side are concerned, they have the chance to right the wrongs from Villa Park when they face their arch-rivals from across Stanley Park.

Fabinho stepped in for Joe Gomez at Stamford Bridge during Liverpool’s dominant 2-0 victory against Chelsea, where the £50.4m-rated ace was given the man of the match award after the game.

In their last Premier League outing, the Reds were humiliated 7-2 by Aston Villa with Gomez being hauled off midway through the second half after having a nightmare of an evening in the Midlands.

Taking both events into account, some supporters made their wishes to see Fabinho start on October 17th well known on social media.
