It’s been a promising start to life for Shaqiri at Anfield

The Switzerland international has made 12 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and creating a further three to keep the Reds challenging at the top of the Premier League and in with a shot of reaching the Champions League round-of-16.And Shaqiri will be hoping to be selected by Jurgen Klopp to start when Liverpool return to Premier League action this coming weekend – against Everton.The two local rivals clash in the first Merseyside derby of the season on Sunday, and Shaqiri deserves to retain his place in the starting XI given his recent form. Ahead of the match, Shaqiri has admitted he is looking forward to the derby.“Then its my first derby so its going to be very special,” he said, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo. “I want to see and to feel the atmospheres in these derbies. Im looking forward to it.”Continuing, the winger revealed he knows one Evertonian, who told him to sign for the Toffees while he was still playing for Stoke.2
