SLOT: I'VE GOT ANU IDEA

Darwin has evolved into different role

- LIAM SHAW

LIVERPOOL head coach Arne Slot believes his side are finally starting to get the best out of Darwin Nunez, having learned a more effective way to play with a number nine.

The Uruguay international impressed with his work rate and all-round contribution in Thursday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg win over Tottenham, despite not really having a genuine goal-scoring chance.

Nunez has alternated with Diogo Jota in the central attacking role, while winger Luis Diaz has been deployed as a false nine on a number of occasions.

Jota is likely to get the nod to start against Championship bottom side Plymouth today as he needs minutes after coming off the bench late on against Spurs, having missed four matches with another injury and been an unused substitute at Bournemouth last weekend.
