Liverpool preview: Down to just one trophy
Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle in the EFL Cup final and on the balance of play, the Reds can have no arguments with the end result. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who missed the final and will miss the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night, has been dribbled past 53 times in the Premier League this season, more than any other player in the division.
Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley will also miss the game which means that Jarell Quansah is likely to start at right-back.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Robertson, Quansah, Konate, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo & Díaz

Everton preview: Left it late against West Ham
The Toffees somehow managed to stretch their unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine matches when they played host to West Ham before the international break.
Everton fell behind in the 67th minute and looked like they were going to lose the game 1-0 only for makeshift right-back Jake O'Brien to head home a stoppage-time equaliser and rescue David Moyes a point against his former club.
Vitalii Mykolenko looks set to join Orel Mangala, Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Iliman Ndiaye on the sidelines which will be a major blow to Moyes as the left-back has enjoyed some positive performance against Mo Salah in recent seasons.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Young, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Doucoure, Garner, Lindstrom, Beto & Harrison

Player to watch: Mo Salah
Mo Salah's poor record in cup finals might have continued last time out against Newcastle but we're backing the Liverpool legend to star against the Toffees on Wednesday night.
For the first time in his Liverpool career, during the EFL Cup final, Mohamed Salah neither attempted a shot nor created a chance in a match where he played 90+ minutes, which is a shock considering that he has scored 27 goals and provided 17 assists in the Premier League alone this season.
The best player in the Premier League this season?
You can't keep a good man down and we expect that top prove the case on Wednesday night when Liverpool host Everton in the Merseyside derby.
