Team
News & Player Availability
Liverpool
- Manager Arne Slot has confirmed a broadly
healthy squad ahead of the derby. No major injuries reported that will
severely weaken the side.
- Curtis Jones
has returned to training. He had been out injured, but now may be
available though his exact fitness level may influence whether he starts
or is used off the bench.
- Alexander Isak
(recent high-profile signing) is fit and available. He played 60 minutes
in the Champions League match, though Slot suggested managing his game
time due to his recent return to full fitness. Whether he starts or comes
off the bench is under consideration.
- Other players potentially unavailable or with limited
involvement include Stefan Bajcetic (injury) and possibly others
depending on rotation.
Everton
- Everton have injury concerns too: Jarrad Branthwaite
is unavailable due to injury.
- There are no major new absentees reported in the latest
sources, suggesting Everton’s squad depth will be tested but they should
have most of their key players fit.
