The Premier League leaders host city rivals Everton at Anfield and will be looking to respond after two disappointing results before the international break as Arne Slot’s men were knocked out of the Champions League, before losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle.
Several Liverpool stars had good international breaks with their countries and Slot will be hoping they take that momentum with them into the Merseyside Derby.
The last time Liverpool faced Everton, things got heated and Slot is still not happy about things that happened during that Merseyside Derby.
The Dutch coach is aware of the challenge Everton possesses and with the intensity of the last derby in mind, this is how RTK predict Liverpool will line up against Everton.

Alisson picked up a fitness issue whilst away with Brazil during the international break, however, the goalkeeper will be fit enough to face Everton on Wednesday night.
As for the centre-back pairing, Slot is expected to look no further than his main duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as that partnership has been exceptional this season.
