Liverpool XI vs Everton: Predicted lineup and confirmed team news

Liverpool are without a number of key players heading into the first Merseyside derby of the season.

The Premier League leaders saw their winning run halted at Newcastle in Wednesday’s thrilling 3-3 draw, albeit they remain seven points clear of Arsenal and Chelsea.

Still, Arne Slot has been dealt an unwelcome blow heading into the club’s final League trip to Goodison Park.

Key midfielder Alexis Mac Allister picked up a yellow card against the Magpies and will miss the Everton game due to suspension, having amassed five for the season thus far.

Slot was already without defenders Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas while all of Alisson Becker, Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota are building up their fitness levels.
