A second-string Liverpool secured a 1-0 win over Everton at Anfield in the third-round of the FA Cup yesterday, with Curtis Jones’ 71st-minute stunner dumping the Toffees out of the competition.
Carlo Ancelotti named his strongest XI – which cost £221 million – but they squandered several chances against an inexperienced and young Liverpool starting XI – worth £44 million.
Footnote to the game. Liverpool’s starting line-up cost £43.95m. Everton’s cost £221.06m.

Everton suffered a 5-2 defeat when they visited Anfield around a month ago, and they had the perfect opportunity to revenge after Reds boss Jurgen Klopp rested a lot of his first-choice players.
