Hyypia's back for derby clash

Sami Hyypia has recovered from the stomach bug that restricted him to the substitutes’ bench on Wednesday when Liverpool drew with Blackburn and should return to the starting line-up against Everton on Sunday.

Mauricio Pellegrino stepped into central defence in Hyypia’s absence but it is expected that boss Rafael Benitez will revert to his first choice pairing of Hyypia and Jamie Carragher against the Toffees.
