Everton will go head-to-head with their long-standing rivals Liverpool on Wednesday night at Anfield.
The two played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in their previous Premier League meeting at Goodison Park in February.
Match Preview
Liverpool endured a disappointing week before the international break. The Reds crashed out of the Champions League after losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain.
They were then completely outplayed in the Carabao Cup final by Newcastle United at Wembley to end their hopes for another major honour.
Arne Slot’s men will now look to bounce back in the Premier League against their arch-rivals Everton.
However, that will be easier said than done as the Toffees are now a completely different animal under David Moyes.
The Blues played out a 1-1 draw with West Ham United before the international break, extending their unbeaten run to nine matches in the English top-flight.
Their impressive run means relegation fears are long gone for the Merseyside outfit, as they are now 17 points above the drop zone.
Team News
In Liverpool FC news, Arne Slot will not be able to call upon the services of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley, with all three confined to the infirmary. They are also sweating over the fitness of Ryan Gravenberch and Alisson Becker who both pulled out of international duty last week.
