Liverpool vs Everton Live
Liverpool, who will be up against Everton in the next game, are in atrocious form coming into this game. And they have failed to win their last four league matches. Jurgen Klopp’s men are currently tenth in the league table, and they are 12 points adrift of a top-four place.
Missing out on the UEFA Champions League will be a catastrophic blow for the Reds. And it remains to be seen whether they can close the gap with the top-four rivals in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Everton are 18th in the league table. And only Southampton have picked up fewer points than them in the league.
They are in real danger of going down this season. And Sean Dyche will be hoping to pull off a morale-boosting result at Anfield on Monday. The newly-appointed Everton manager helped his side grind out a massive win over Arsenal in their last league game. And it remains to be seen whether Everton can pull off another upset here.
Liverpool
The Reds are already reeling with the number of injury problems and they have been handed a fresh blow ahead of the Merseyside Derby. Midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been ruled out for a few weeks. And his absence could prove to be damaging for the home side.
Liverpool are already without Arthur Melo, Luis Diaz, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Roberto Firmino. Having said that, most of them are back in training and they could be back on the pitch soon. Liverpool are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Everton, with Alisson Becker in goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson are set to reprise their roles as the full-backs. Their creativity will be crucial to Liverpool breaking down the opposition here. Joel Matip will partner with Joe Gomez at the heart of the defence.
In the Liverpool midfield, Fabinho will operate as the defensive midfielder, looking to break up the Everton play. Club captain Jordan Henderson is set to start along with Naby Keita. Liverpool will hope to have a compact midfield in place and protect their defence which has been vulnerable all season.
