A reminder of what went down last time out...

Sometimes the Merseyside derby gets criticism for not having that intense ultra-competitive derby feel.

Toxteth boy Curtis Jones did not take kindly to that, squaring up to Doucoure and sparking a brawl.

Jones was sent off, Doucoure was sent off, and after telling referee Michael Oliver how he felt about his officiating, Reds manager Arne Slot also saw red.

Derby day comes too soon for Liverpool duo

Alisson and Conor Bradley both returned to Liverpool training this week and were in contention to feature, but have both missed out on the matchday squad.

Ryan Gravenberch, on the other hand, does make a return after suffering a knock in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle.
