What is the team news?
Liverpool
Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno could be sidelined for potentially up to six weeks with an ankle injury.
The defender will be assessed by a second specialist over the weekend but the fear is the problem, sustained in Wednesday's 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow, could keep him out until the new year.
James Milner is likely to fill the vacancy for Sunday's Merseyside derby at home to Everton while captain Jordan Henderson is set to start in midfield after sitting out in midweek.
Provisional squad: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Salah, Firmino, Mane, Karius, Robertson, Can, Grujic, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge, Solanke.

What are they saying?
Jurgen Klopp on Alberto Moreno:
“We need to have further assessment.
“So far it could be everything. I cannot say much about it. It’s a very rare thing. So far the specialists aren’t sure; but if it’s in a week or so or a little bit longer so we have to wait for that. There’s a little damage around the tendons.”
Tom Davies speaking to Everton's official website:
“It’s a massive game. In Liverpool you’re either a red or a Blue, it’s all about the city derby. It’s a game we need to win. I’ll definitely be up for that one and putting everything into it," he said.

What are the odds?
Liverpool win - 3/10
Everton win - 11/1
Draw - 11/2
What's our prediction?
Liverpool are free scoring, Everton are struggling, so a big home win? Half of that is probably right. Sam Allardyce will get his new troops organised, but with no win in the Merseyside derby in seven years shows how difficult a challenge this is.
Liverpool 2 Everton 0.
