Liverpool edged a point further clear at the Premier League summit with a 2-2 draw at Everton on Wednesday evening.

Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah both struck before a controversial late equaliser earned the home side a share of the spoils from the final Goodison derby.

Liverpool are again in top-flight action on Sunday afternoon when they entertain relegation-threatened Wolves having now moved seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal in the race for the championship.

And here we look ahead to the changes Slot could make when his team are next in action.

Alexander-Arnold to return?

With Liverpool now in the midst of five key Premier League games in 15 days, Slot will want some rotation to keep some players fresh.

But it's unlikely he will make too many changes to his starting line-up.

Alisson Becker, then, will remain in goal, with Caoimhin Kelleher his deputy and Vitezslav Jaros third choice.

Andy Robertson has edged ahead of Kostas Tsimikas at left-back, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to step in at right-back in place of Conor Bradley having made a cameo outing from the bench in midweek after missing the previous two games through injury.

Joe Gomez, though, is facing an extended spell on the sidelines after limping off at Plymouth Argyle at the weekend, leaving Jarell Quansah as the only senior alternative to first-choice centre-back pairing Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Wataru Endo is another option should he not be required in midfield.

Midfield absences

The red card for Curtis Jones following the series of incidents after the final whistle at Goodison means the midfielder is suspended for the weekend having impressed when replacing Ryan Gravenberch in the second half.

Gravenberch had an uncharacteristic below-par game against Everton but will be expected to continue alongside Alexis Mac Allister at the base of midfield, with Endo a possible alternative.

Dominik Szoboszlai's improved second-half showing in midweek suggests he may still have the edge over Harvey Elliott in the number 10 position.

Tyler Morton is out for the foreseeable after a shoulder operation while youngsters James McConnell and Trey Nyoni have similarly yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

Nunez decision

Luis Diaz struggled to make an impact playing down the centre of the attack at Everton, and will come under pressure for his starting role there.

Darwin Nunez was first off the bench ahead of Diogo Jota and appears the more likely replacement.

Diaz, though, did better on the left, and with Cody Gakpo having a rare off-night at Goodison, the Colombian could switch to the flank.

Mohamed Salah will be expected to continue on the right wing with Federico Chiesa having not made the matchday squad in midweek.
