Liverpool return to action 🌜in Saturday’s early Premier League kickoff against none other than Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have had a decent start to the seℱason, currently sitting fourth in the Premier League table.

Liverpool are also doing well in the Europa League, winn𓄧i🌠ng their opening two games, and in the Carabao Cup.

The Reds will be taking on a struggling Everton side. The Blues are 𓆏16th in the standings, though they have won two of thꩲeir last three.

In terms of Liverpool’s team selection, Klopp has some issues൲ in midfield. As per the Reds , Thiago Alcantara and Stefen Bajcetic are out of action.

In addition, Alexis Mac Allister’s late retur🃏n from international duty – he played for Arg𝐆entina on Wednesday morning – is an issue for Klopp.

The Liverpool boss starte🌊d Mac Allister in similar circumstances against Wolves last month, but ended up replacing him at 👍the break.

With that in mind, Klopp could well look to bring in Reds summer signing Wataru Endo against𒉰 Everton.

Dominik Sz🔯oboszlai is pretty 🐽much guaranteed to start. He’s just that good and that much of an asset for the Reds.

Therefore, the third midfield position is likely to be contested between Ryan Grave🌳nberch and Harvey Elliott.

We reckon tha𓃲t Klopp will opt for the 21-year-old Dutchman to start the game. While Elliottꦺ is a great attacking talent, Gravenberch would offer more balance.

In addition, the🍬 Reds summer signing is more physical, which would work better against Everton’s midf🉐ield, and he’s had more time to prepare as he hasn’t been on international duty.

Gravenberch is an ‘insane‘ talent, so it’ll be exciting to see how he fares for Liverpool in the derby if Klopp doe💙s unleash him from the star🍒t.
