Premier League 2022-23: Liverpool vs Everton: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

The Reds will host local rivals in an encounter on Monday night.

After losing to Wolves 3-0, Liverpool took a further hit, revealing that the team is struggling and needs a string of victories to improve. Consistent losses have hurt their chances of making the top four, and they now play their nearby rival, Everton.

After a string of losses that led to Frank Lampard's dismissal, Everton, who had been operating under the same line, saw the sun come up over the team after a 1-0 win over Arsenal. Now, though, they will travel to Anfield under the leadership of Sean Dyche.

Liverpool form (all competition): L-D-L-L-W

Players to watch

Liverpool: Cody Gakpo

Gakpo has performed as expected for Liverpool, but fans need to see more than just goals and assists. Although he hasn't received enough support, he will undoubtedly make up for it because he possesses so much talent.

Everton: Amadou Onana

Onana has been a find for Everton, strengthening the midfield of the Toffees with his defensive abilities. He has been fantastic for them, and his performance last week against Arsenal suggested he has a bright future with the team.

Match facts

• The Merseyside derby has been tied 0-0 more often than any other derby in Premier League history.
• Three of Everton's last five goals in games have come from corners.
• Salah could become the 13th Liverpool player to be involved in 100 goals if he scores or assists against Everton (70 goals, 29 assists).

Injury and team news

Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Arthur, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Roberto Firmino are the latest in a long list of injured Liverpool players. Fabio Carvalho (unspecified) and Nat Phillips (sickness) also need to be evaluated.

Nathan Patterson and Andros Townsend will not be available for Dyche, and James Garner is currently dealing with a back injury. Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane are about to return from injury.

Head-to-head

Matches: 292

Liverpool: 123

Draws: 86

Predicted lineup

Liverpool (4-3-3):

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson; Thiago, Bajcetic, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo

Everton (4-5-1):

Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Coady, Mykolenko; Iwobi, Gueye, Onana, McNeil; Gray, Calvert-Lewin

Prediction

Although it's alluring to think Liverpool will eventually find its groove, there aren't many indications that this is the case.

Under Dyche, Everton already presents a different team and will be ready for the fight in front of what should be an electrifying atmosphere at Anfield.

With Liverpool's defence continuing to appear exceedingly porous, the Toffees have a chance to win at least a point.
