Everton v Liverpool

It is important that we don’t get dragged down to their level, keep the ball on the ground and let cool heads prevail. We can and should then beat them to maintain our challenge for the title. It will be tough, but I think being a midweek game reduces the build up and heat that usually accompanies the derby and this should work in our favour. Arsenal sneaked a narrow, lucky win against Chelsea last night, so we need a win to keep in touch.

Team: Alisson, TAA, Konate, VVD, Robbo, Endo, MacAllister, Jones, Diaz, Nunez, Salah. It might just be that Gakpo gets the nod over Nunez to start, though I think this could be a good game for Nunez. Despite Jota being ruled out we still have a very strong team with good options from the bench.
