The international break now over, it’s time for the return of the Premier League on the French Football Weekly website! This Saturday, Liverpool welcomes Everton to its legendary Anfield lair for the 9th day of the English Championship. A highly anticipated meeting in the Kingdom between two rival teams, determined to shine and win this very important Mersey derby. Fourth in the Premier League (17pts), but held in check against Brighton during their last outing in the PL (2-2), the Reds hope to return to the path of victory in front of their public in order to hang up the lead in the championship. Opposite, the Toffees (16th, 7pts), in great difficulty on the national scene like last season, will try to continue after their convincing success obtained against Bournemouth (3-0) just before the break.
This part will be followed live with live commentary on the French Football Weekly website from 1:30 p.m. For this new outing in the Premier League, Jürgen Klopp has decided to opt for his traditional tactical scheme organized in 4-3-3. Unsurprisingly, Ibrahima Konaté, returning from the French selection, is aligned in central defense with Virgil van Djik, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas occupy the full-back positions. The midfield consists of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch. Finally, Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota start in attack. On the visitors’ side, Sean Dyche has decided and aligned for this confrontation a system organized in 4-4-1-1. The point of the attack is occupied by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, supported by Abdoulaye Doucouré.
