After a grueling battle in Madrid, Liverpool prepares to host their arch-rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby, bearing the burden of fatigue and the scars of battle. In less than 48 hours, the team will move from the Wanda Metropolitano to Anfield, where a test awaits them no less fiercely.

Liverpool played a draining European match in midweek, and a 12:30 kick-off on Saturday could leave them more vulnerable. Moyes will most likely take a 'logical' approach to his team's chances and won't radically alter the tactics from previous derbies at Anfield. Instead, he’ll instruct his players to stay compact and pick their moments for attacking with caution.

Former Reds star Jamie Carragher believes that this grueling match against Atlético could have a significant impact on the team's performance, potentially giving Everton a golden opportunity at home to their tired hosts.
