Liverpool and Everton meet once again for what could be a fiery Merseyside derby at Anfield to kick off the weekend’s action.
The Reds emerge from a successful Champions League outing against Atletico Madrid in midweek – although it took another late winner to get over the line.
Their opponents have had a full week’s rest to prepare for the mammoth task in front of them, but the Toffees will be full of hope that they can pull off an upset.
A promising start under David Moyes this season means there is room for a potential upset here, particularly if Liverpool are feeling the effects of their midweek fixture.
Read on to see how both teams line-up for this blockbuster clash.
Liverpool line-up
There is not much room for rotation for Arne Slot, with the magnitude of the derby on the line.
Alisson retains his place in goal, and he sits behind a back four of Conoe Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez.
Ryan Gravenberch is once again joined by Alexis Mac Allister at the heart of midfield, with Dominik Szoboszlai just ahead in a more advanced role.
Mohammed Salah gets his usual spot on the right, Cody Gakpo fills the left flank.
Alexander Isak comes out for Hugo Ekitike after playing 60 minutes in midweek.
Everton line-up
Unsurprisingly, it is a full-strength team for Everton.
Jordan Pickford is in goal, marshalling a defence of Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane and Vitaliy Mykolenko.
James Garner partners Idrissa Gueye in midfield, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall handed the keys to the No.10 position.
Iliman Ndiaye is on the right, and in-form Jack Grealish starts on the left.
Beto leads the line for the visitors.
