Liverpool predicted lineup vs Everton. Premier League Round 30

Liverpool and Everton are preparing for a clash at Anfield. They aim to solidify their position at the top of the Premier League table, while the latter want to extend their impressive unbeaten run.

Slot’s strategy involves a high defensive line and selective pressing with a focus on controlled possession. Their attacking play often sees Salah taking on defenders and delivering crosses, with midfielders making late runs into the box – a pattern evident in their equalizer during the previous derby. 

However, Liverpool showed vulnerability when opponents blocked passing lanes from the center-backs to the central midfielders. Everton effectively executed in their last meeting, forcing the Reds into uncharacteristic long balls and disrupting their build-up play. ​

Moyes’ men demonstrate early aggression and exploit set-piece situations. They’ve scored 41% of their Premier League goals from non-penalty set-pieces, the highest ratio in the league this season. 

In open play, Everton often target the right flank, using O’Brien’s aerial strength and Harrison’s pace to challenge opposing full-backs. Their defensive organisation focuses on compactness and winning second balls, aiming to disrupt the opponent’s midfield cohesion.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Everton (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Caoimhín Kelleher.  With Alisson Becker’s availability in doubt due to a concussion sustained during international duty, Kelleher is expected to step between the posts. The Irishman has shown composure and shot-stopping abilities in previous matches.​

Right-Back: Jarell Quansah. The young defender may continue at right-back, especially if Conor Bradley isn’t fully fit to return from his muscle injury. Quansah’s versatility allows him to adapt to this role, providing defensive solidity and contributing to the build-up play.​

Centre-Backs: Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk. This central defensive partnership combines physicality with tactical awareness. Van Dijk’s leadership and aerial prowess complement Konaté’s speed and strength, forming a formidable barrier against opposing attacks.​

Left-Back: Andrew Robertson. Known for his relentless energy and pinpoint crosses, Robertson is a key outlet on the left flank, balancing defensive duties with offensive support.​ However, this season, he’s played unstable, and the opponents often utilise his lapses in concentration when the ball is in the box.

Midfield Trio:

Ryan Gravenberch. Despite fitness concerns, Gravenberch is expected to feature, offering dynamism and creativity from midfield. His ability to drive forward and link play will be crucial in breaking down Everton’s defensive setup.​ However, his form dipped in the second part of the season, mainly due to fatigue.

Alexis Mac Allister. Operating as the box-to-box midfielder, Mac Allister’s vision and passing range facilitate transitions from defense to attack. His defensive contributions also provide balance to the midfield unit.​

Dominik Szoboszlai. An attacking midfielder with a skill for finding pockets of space, Szoboszlai’s technical skills and goal threat add an extra dimension to Liverpool’s attacking play.​

Front Three:

Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward is in excellent form this season, leading the Premier League scoring charts with 27 goals. His pace, dribbling, and finishing make him a notable threat to defenders.​ However, against PSG and Newcastle, he struggled to show his best play, mainly because of fatigue.

Cody Gakpo. Returning from injury, Gakpo is expected to spearhead the attack. His movement on the left flank and link-up play can disrupt defensive lines, creating opportunities for him and his teammates.​

Luis Díaz. The Colombian winger’s great speed and dribbling provide width and unpredictability, stretching defenses and opening spaces for other attackers.

Everton Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford. The England international’s shot-stopping ability and distribution are crucial for Everton’s defensive resilience and for starting counter-attacks.​

Right-Back: Jake O’Brien. The young defender showed promise and may continue to deputise in this position, offering defensive stability and support in wide areas.​

Centre-Backs: James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. Tarkowski’s leadership and aerial ability, plus Branthwaite’s composure and reading, worked successfully to defend in the deep block.​

Left-Back: Ashley Young. With Vitalii Mykolenko as a big doubt due to a thigh injury, the versatile veteran may need to play at left-back, bringing experience to the role. However, with his decreased pace, it`ll be very difficult for him to cover Salah`s burst of speed.

Defensive Midfielders:

Idrissa Gueye. The Senegalese midfielder’s tenacity and ball-winning skills are crucial in breaking up opposition play and controlling Zone 14.​

James Garner. Garner’s passing range aids in transitioning from defense to attack.​

Attacking Midfield Trio:

Jack Harrison. Providing width on the right, Harrison’s pace and crossing ability can trouble opposing full-backs.​

Abdoulaye Doucouré. Operating centrally, Doucouré’s box-to-box energy and late runs into the box add an attacking threat. It created big problems for Liverpool in their first match of this season at Goodison​ Park.

Carlos Alcaraz. On the left, Alcaraz offers creativity and an eye for goals, capable of cutting inside to shoot or deliver dangerous passes.​

Center Forward: Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal (Beto). Leading the line, Beto’s physical presence and hold-up play are pivotal in bringing others in and creating an aerial threat.​
