Reina ready to stop Anichebe

Pepe Reina
Pepe Reina is on course to be fit for Liverpool's Merseyside derby with Everton this weekend, revealing he missed the Reading game as a precaution.

Brick wall

The Spaniard will be out to stop the likes of Nigeria’s Victor Anichebe who has so far notched in three goals this season and teammates as the Reds will want to build on their 1-0 win over Reading over the weekend.

Reina suffered a minor hamstring injury while on international duty with Spain, forcing him to take on the role of frustrated spectator as Raheem Sterling's strike earned Liverpool a 1-0 win over Reading.

Quality deputy

In his absence, Reina saw Brad Jones turn in a match-winning display for the Reds, making a couple of crucial saves to protect a clean sheet. The Spaniard was full of praise for his understudy, but is "eager to return" against Everton, according to the club's official website.

-I'm getting better, little by little, Reina said. -It wasn't worth taking any risks because you risk it getting worse. I'll be patient and get really good.
