After two-and-a-half long weeks, Liverpool finally makes its return against Everton later, with Arne Slot facing some big decisions for the Merseyside derby.

The Reds will be happier than most to end the international break and get back to domestic matters, with the Premier League title within reach during the final nine games of the season.

Arsenal did its bit to keep the race alive on Tuesday, meaning Liverpool has to win if it’s to restore its 12-point advantage at the top of the table.

Everton though will provide a stern test, with the Toffees yet to lose a league game since David Moyes returned as manager.

The long international break may have helped Liverpool in that regard, with the goalkeeper able to serve out the protocol with time to spare before the derby.

Likewise, Ibrahima Konate is expected to be fine despite suggestions he might have picked up a knock while playing for France.

Whether Slot is ready to make the call is the big question, but for us, he simply needs to be given his chance now.

Predicted Liverpool line-up vs Everton: Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Chiesa.
