This is a Mersey derby worth its weight in gold. Everton hosts Liverpool (a match to follow from 9 p.m. live with commentary on French Football Weekly) and both teams will want victory. The Toffees because they still have to fight to avoid being relegated (5 points ahead of Luton Town, the first to be relegated) while the Reds still want to believe in their title dreams.
For his last confrontation against his Liverpool rival, Klopp decided to use a 4-3-3. While he scored against Fulham, Diogo Jota is injured for two weeks. He is replaced by Nunez up front. The Uruguayan is accompanied by Salah and Diaz on the wings. Konaté returns to his place in central defense, accompanied by Van Dijk. For his part, Sean Dyche is banking on a 4-4-1-1. We find former PSG player Gana Gueye associated with Garner in the double-pivot. Calvert-Lewin will be the sole attacker with Doucouré in support.
The official compositions:
Everton: Pickford – Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mikolenko – Harrison, Gana, Garner, McNeil – Doucouré – Calvert-Lewin
Liverpool: Becker – Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson – Jones, McAllister, Szoboszlai – Salah, Nunez, Diaz
