Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has been ruled out of the Merseyside derby.

The left-back is out for an unspecified about of time with a knee injury.

But the damage is likely to require surgery and he could miss the rest of the season.

Summer signing Aly Cissokho is likely to fill in on the left flank.

The Reds are second in the table two points behind leaders Arsenal going into the game while Everton are sixth.
