The first Merseyside derby of the season takes place at Goodison Park on Saturday, but will Darwin Nunez‘s return from suspension see him go straight into the Liverpool lineup?
The Reds are in better spirits than they were this time last week, after securing their first three points of the season with a 9-0 victory against Bournemouth, before a dramatic win against Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for another positive result when his side make the short trip to Goodison Park for the first Merseyside derby of the season on Saturday lunchtime.
His options will be boosted by the return of Nunez, who is back after a three-game suspension, while Joel Matip, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota have all returned to training this week.
So what sort of team should we be expecting to see face Frank Lampard’s side this weekend?
From Klopp’s pre-match presser on Friday, we know the following:
New signing Arthur yet to receive international clearance
Nunez back after suspension
Jota could be involved after return to trainin
Liverpool’s XI vs. Everton
If that’s the only change, Liverpool would line up like this:
Joe Gomez to carry on at centre-back
Milner in for the injured Henderson
The same front three, with Nunez on the bench
Could this be the side that starts the derby?
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Elliott, Milner; Salah, Diaz, Firmino
With Nunez and a handful of other players available for selection again, Klopp does have more options to rotate.
