Liverpool is finally set to return to action after the international break and the weekend of FA Cup fixtures.

And Arne Slot has named his starting XI to take on Everton at Anfield.

Alisson Becker is not fit enough to start after a head injury that forced him off while Brazil was playing Colombia so Caoimhin Kelleher starts.



Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez remain sidelined.

Curtis Jones starts ahead of Jarell Quansah at right-back as a result of the absences with Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson making up the rest of the Liverpool back four.

The Dutch winger Gakpo was injured before the international break but is now fully fit again — he scored for the Netherlands against Spain in the UEFA Nations League - but is only on the bench.

"Without dwelling too much on everything that happened before the international break, it is clear that a couple of important results went against us in both the Champions League and the Carabao Cup," Slot writes in his matchday program notes.
