Team News, Predicted 4-3-3 Liverpool Lineup vs Everton | Premier League

Liverpool will travel to Goodison Park to face cross-town rivals Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday night, as Jurgen Klopp looks to win the bragging rights in the Merseyside derby.

The Reds have produced two sublime displays in their last two Premier League matches—against Arsenal and Southampton—and will be confident heading into the derby.

Jurgen Klopp’s side, who are third on the table, will be keen on piling further misery on Everton who have lost four of their last five games.

Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury concerns from the 4-0 thrashing of Southampton. The quartet of Curtis Jones, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Harvey Elliot are still sidelined, but Naby Keita has a chance of being involved against Everton after narrowly missing out in the last game.

Goalkeeper

Alisson has kept back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League after conceding three against West Ham earlier this month. He’ll be keen to make it three shutouts in a row when Liverpool play Everton on Thursday.

Defence

Liverpool have looked solid in the last couple of weeks, showing signs of robustness after the 3-2 defeat to West Ham. Virgil van Dijk is the leader of the pack and will partner the improving Ibrahima Konate at the heart of the Reds defence.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of this team’s best attacking outlets, making him one of the first names in the Liverpool lineup. Andrew Robertson is now fully fit and is expected to start in the Merseyside derby after completing 90 minutes against Southampton.

Midfield

Klopp is unlikely to make changes to his midfield that started against Southampton, meaning Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson are primed to retain their spots in the Liverpool lineup. Thiago lasted only an hour in the Reds’ 4-0 win over Southampton, however, the Spaniard should recuperate quickly to start the highly-anticipated Merseyside derby.

James Milner’s experience and know-how in big games could be handy, while the likes of Takumi Minamino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi will be keen to make an impact if needed off the bench at any point in the game.

Attack

The front three of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota are in impressive goalscoring form right now. With Firmino out injured, Jota has done ever so well in the false 9 role and his brace against Southampton should give him a lot of confidence heading into the Everton game.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah can give a torrid time to a struggling Everton side and Rafael Benitez will hope Liverpool’s African superstars don’t have their shooting boots on at Goodison Park.
