Latest Everton vs Liverpool team news
Manager Moyes selected a very strong Everton lineup for Saturday's fourth-round match against Bournemouth, and this lineup may remain the same for the next game. The manager may only make one or two changes in the wing positions.
Vitalii Mykolenko missed Saturday's defeat due to a calf strain, but could return to replace Ashley Young (who was sent off against Liverpool last season). Additionally, Jack Harrison could replace Jesper Lindstrom on the right wing after a promising performance coming on as a substitute against the Cherries.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja, and Youssef Chermiti are all absent due to injury. Therefore, Beto continues to lead the home team's attack. Dwight McNeil is also unavailable as he recently underwent knee surgery at the end of January.
Manager Slot is expected to make 10 changes to the team that lost at Plymouth. He will most likely use the same lineup that beat Tottenham 4-0 in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final on Thursday.
Luis Diaz is the only player to have started both matches, so he will be retained in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott, and Federico Chiesa may make way for their teammates.
Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk are just some of the players who weren't even included in the squad for the last match. However, while these players will return, Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to remain absent (Manager Slot isn't overly optimistic about his availability in the coming weeks).
Latest predicted lineups for Everton vs Liverpool

Latest Everton vs Liverpool football match prediction
Despite the unfavorable weather, the upcoming clash between the two Merseyside teams promises to be incredibly memorable, especially as the match will be held at Goodison Park, a venue that has witnessed many historic moments throughout the league's history.
Aside from the final at Goodison Park against Southampton in May, no other match will hold more significance and emotion for Everton supporters. Above all, the game marks the return of manager David Moyes.
David Moyes has made a significant impact since returning to Merseyside. He has led Everton to three consecutive Premier League wins, helping the team create a safe nine-point gap from the relegation zone.
Victories against Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Leicester City (scoring 8 goals) have virtually secured Everton's survival in the Premier League. This improved form is also thanks to a significantly improved goal difference.
Notably, in their previous matches against Spurs and Leicester, Everton had led 3-0 in the first half (the first time in 63 years they had achieved this). This season, they have only scored two goals in the first half in 10 consecutive home games.
Moyes has now won more league games than Sean Dyche ever did (in just 4 games). However, there was also a lot of disappointment at Goodison last Saturday as Everton's final cup match at Old Trafford ended in a 0-2 defeat to Bournemouth.
The match against Liverpool will be an extremely difficult evening for The Toffees. They have only won 4 out of 47 matches against top-ranked teams (on the day of the match). Furthermore, the head-to-head history completely favors Liverpool.
In 54 encounters since 2000, Everton have only won 6 matches. Therefore, with their previous victory at Goodison Park last season, the home team have the opportunity to win consecutive derby matches for the first time in 40 years.
A defeat against Everton last season ended Liverpool's 12-match unbeaten run in the league at Goodison Park. It also officially ended their hopes of winning the title in Jurgen Klopp's final season.
On the other side of the pitch, manager Arne Slot will be facing his first Merseyside derby. Liverpool are eager to secure their 100th victory against Everton – thus becoming only the fifth club in history to reach a three-digit milestone against their rivals in league competitions.
Manager Slot must strive to match the impressive record set by his predecessor Klopp. In the past, the German strategist rarely succeeded at Goodison. After winning his first match, he only won one more game in his seven trips there.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that both Everton and Liverpool are desperate for a win in this derby. A victory for the Reds would put them nine points ahead of Arsenal in the league table and maintain their advantage of having played one fewer game than their rivals.
In their last 12 matches at Goodison Park, Liverpool have only managed two wins. However, The Kop are eager to redeem themselves after their humiliating defeat to Plymouth in the FA Cup last weekend. This loss also marked the Merseyside team's entry into the "blacklist," becoming the fourth Premier League leaders to be eliminated by a team from a lower league.
Coach Slot's team is unbeaten in 19 consecutive league matches, has reached the EFL Cup final, and is very close to securing a Champions League spot. However, that hasn't intimidated Plymouth Argyle. They beat Liverpool 1-0 at Home Park on Sunday.
Manager Slot made numerous changes after the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham (even fielding a second-string team). Over-reliance on a few individuals could have negative consequences on The Kop's path to success.
