Liverpool XI vs Everton: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Arne Slot will be forced into at least one change from the PSG loss after Liverpool suffer major injury blow

Mohamed Salah is expected to start for Liverpool against Everton this weekend in what be will be his final ever appearance in a Merseyside derby.

Salah has already announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, with his farewell tour in the Premier League beginning in last week’s 2-0 win over Fulham.

The 33-year-old netted at Anfield but was back on the bench for the Champions League quarter-final second leg defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

However, Salah was called into action sooner than expected as he replaced Hugo Ekitike after the Frenchman was stretchered off just after the half hour mark with a serious injury.

It has been confirmed that Ekitike will miss the remainder of the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon injury, thus forcing Arne Slot into at least one change from the PSG game.

Elsewhere, Joe Gomez has been ruled out which means Jeremie Frimpong should start at right-back despite coming off at half-time against PSG.

Alisson Becker will miss a sixth game in a row through injury, thus handing Giorgi Mamardashvili a first taste of a Merseyside derby.

Curtis Jones, sent-off in the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park last season, is an option in midfield should Slot opt to play Wirtz as a false nine.

Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Gakpo
