Liverpool possible XI vs Everton – as Jurgen Klopp makes four changes after latest injury blow…

Prediction for Liverpool’s lineup against Everton in the upcoming Merseyside derby.

Liverpool’s starting lineup for the upcoming Merseyside derby against Everton is anticipated to see some changes. Jurgen Klopp, who has a strong record against the Reds’ rivals, is expected to make four alterations to his team. The match is crucial for Liverpool as they continue to push for the Premier League title with only five games left in the season.

As Liverpool prepares to face Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday (20.00 BST), it marks Jurgen Klopp’s final Merseyside derby as the manager of Liverpool. Klopp has an impressive record against their fierce rivals, with 10 wins and only one loss in their previous encounters.

However, this match holds more significance than just local bragging rights. Liverpool is currently in the midst of a tight Premier League title race, with only five matches left to play. They cannot afford to let their challenge falter against Everton and will be determined to secure a crucial victory.

The Reds experienced a decline in their performance, but they managed to secure a 3-1 victory over Fulham in their last match, ensuring that they remain tied with leaders Arsenal on 74 points. A win against Everton would not only extend their lead to four points but also increase the pressure on Manchester City, despite having played two more games.

In a surprising move, Klopp decided to bench Mo Salah against Fulham. However, with Diogo Jota out for the next two weeks due to injury, Klopp will be compelled to make changes to his attacking lineup. He now faces the decision of whether to bring Salah back or give Darwin Nunez a chance.

Looking ahead to the upcoming clash, here is the predicted Liverpool team to face Everton.

The team’s first-choice goalkeeper has started the last three games and has been in exceptional form since returning from injury.

1. GK – Alisson Becker

The top goalkeeper has played in the last three matches and has been in outstanding form since returning from injury.

2. RB – Trent Alexander-Arnold

Demonstrated his value by scoring an unstoppable free-kick against Fulham. He will be eager to find the back of the net against Everton.

3. CB – Ibrahima Konate

Given a rest in the Fulham game after featuring in the previous three matches, he is expected to return in place of Jarell Quansah.

Liverpool’s skipper must be on top of his game to counter the physical threat posed by Everton.

4. CB – Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool’s skipper must be on top of his game to counter the physical threat posed by Everton.

5. LB – Andy Robertson

Andy Robertson, the Scotland international, has been displaying excellent form recently and has gained momentum.

6. CM – Wataru Endo

In the second half against Fulham, Wataru Endo, the Japan international, showed glimpses of his usual self and it will be crucial for him to disrupt Everton’s counter-attacks.

7. CM – Alexis Mac Allister

Resting at Fulham was much needed for Alexis Mac Allister. He has arguably been Liverpool’s standout player since the beginning of the year.

8. CM – Curtis Jones

Jurgen Klopp may be looking for a player who can maintain composure on the ball and press Everton off it. While Ryan Gravenberch scored against Fulham, Jones has been the preferred choice for most of the season when healthy.

9. RW – Mo Salah

Mo Salah has not been performing at his peak recently and was benched against Fulham. However, with Jota injured, Salah is likely to make a return to the starting lineup.

10. ST – Cody Gakpo

Cody Gakpo has been in impressive form lately, providing Liverpool with a focal point and more creativity compared to Darwin Nunez.
