Liverpool vs Everton, which was scheduled to be played on Saturday night, was postponed due to Storm Darragh. The former side ended another week at the top of the points table and now have shifted their focus towards their next battle.
The Reds will next lock horns with Girona in the Champions League on Tuesday. Arne Slot’s side are atop the points table even there and would like to continue their winning streak. They will aim to secure another three points for sure.
Defence
Caomhin Kelleher made a blunder in the previous game and he will look for redemption when he takes onto the field this week against Girona. Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit and he will replace Jarell Quansah as the right-back.
Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk didn’t put on a good display as the centre-back pair. However, they are unlikely to face any heat and remain intact again. Andy Robertson also retains his spot as the left-back but needs to be more solid defensively.

Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister is suspended for this game as he picked another yellow card in the previous Champions League clash. In his absence, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch should form the holding midfielder pair with Dominik Szoboszlai operating in the attacking areas.
Attack
Mohamed Salah remains an undisputed pick on the right wing but Darwin Nunez might lose his spot to Luis Diaz on the other flank with Cody Gakpo playing in the advanced most role.
Arne Slot will miss the services of the likes of Alisson Becker (hamstring), Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Diogo Jota (abdominal) are close but not quite close enough, while Kostas Tsimikas (ankle), Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) due to the mentioned injuries.
