Liverpool are back in action on Monday night as they host Everton in the 243rd Merseyside derby. Yet to win in the Premier League in 2023, they’ll be desperate to change that against the Blues and stop their Sean Dyche-led revival in its tracks.
The Reds fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat away at Wolves last time out, while their last Anfield outing ended in an uninspiring 0-0 draw with Chelsea. In contrast, Everton won 1-0 at home to league-leaders Arsenal in Dyche’s first game as manager, while they’ll be hungry to win their first away derby in front of fans since 1999.
Given the manner of Liverpool’s loss at Wolves, Jurgen Klopp was always likely to make changes in Monday night’s derby. But he looks set to have to make one enforced change regardless after confirming that Thiago Alcantara is suffering with a hip injury.
