Liverpool v Everton (A) PL

[Buzzo]

12:30 Saturday BT Sport.

Another bruising encounter ahead.

Hendo out leaves us lite in midfield for sure. However, Joel Matip, Curtis Jones, Calvin Ramsay and Diogo Jota all returned to first-team training this week.

As it is the derby I wonder if Klopp might throw Nunez straight back in? Back him. He was looking dangerous in the limited minutes (has he featured for more than 5o mins yet???) he had.


Becker

Trent (I'd be tempted to play Milner)
Matip
VVD
Robbo

Fabinho
Jones
Elliot

Diaz
Nunez
Salah

Anyones guess really.

Napoli away next week so there will be rotation between the 2 games.

[danperkins]

Milner vs Gordon would be goodnight, I know Trent isn't quick but Milner would be destroyed. But I do reckon Milner will be instead of Hendo. Also, I think he will start will Bobby for this.

I think we wont change that much really, Nunez for Bobby maybe. I reckon Milner will come in for Hendo but I desperately hope not, rather Jones.

[RichC]

Milner for Hendo but apart from that I think it'll be the same again.

They'll be looking to foul, dive, time waste and make it as disjointed as possible. Nunez starting will get targeted massively and they'll be on the wind up to try and get him to react.

Nunez wont start. The Bitters will target him to get him sent off. He somehow managed to get involved in the handbags stuff at full time yesterday. Needs to ****ing chill out!

[Pablo]

We really, really need to score first. If they score first then the time wasting we saw from Newcastle won't be a drop in the ocean compared to what Everton will resort to.

Nunez on the bench. Start him in the Champions League game.

Slightly worrying how highly strung he seems tbh

[The_weatherman]

Thought so too, but I could see Klopp resting Bobby, he's getting on a bit and maybe three games in a week is too much.

That's a fair point as well. We've seen with the injuries if players don't get down time they'll pick up niggles.

This season is going to be hard work and we don't seem to have the depth for it.

[Buzzo]

There is a chance Jota is available but given the time he has had out Id expect to see him on the bench.

I don’t think we can play the same 11 (Hendo out obvs) for three games in 7 days.

I think it will become quite tricky to predict the starting XI as players return from injury.

Mapit

Everton are atrocious and won’t be looking to play any actual football. Think they will try and bypass our midfield so just need to snuff out the supply to Gordon as he is pretty much their only hope.

The more I think about it, I think you are right that Nunez will start. He has to be careful with Bobby. He's also the type of manager to trust a player like that.

It will be all eyes on Nunez if he does start though. Anything he does will be analysed. He will have to be perfectly behaved.

Can't drop Bobby after his impact in the last two games.

If Matip is fit then we'll see him start ahead of Gomez

this would be one that if Matip is fit he ll start. He's so important to us and that extra aerial presence is a big deal in a fairly small LFC side.

Bournemouth (already played Liverpool, City and Arsenal) are one point above Everton. Hard to remember a worse Everton side. They are destined for relegation. We should beat them.
