Jurgen Klopp has made six changes for Liverpool’s clash with Everton, with Cody Gakpo notably absent due to his partner being in labour.

Darwin Nunez returns to lead the line, while Mohamed Salah, who saw limited action in the previous match, starts after sitting out most of the victory at Craven Cottage.

Salah and Nunez, with a combined tally of 42 goals this season are tasked with spearheading Liverpool’s attack from the start in the 244th Merseyside derby.

With Gakpo unavailable and Diogo Jota sidelined due to injury, Jayden Danns takes a spot on the substitutes’ bench, highlighting Klopp’s stretched attacking options.

Gakpo provided an assist in Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Craven Cottage over the weekend.

The Netherlands, who moved to Anfield from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 has racked up 49 appearances, scored 14 goals, and registered five assists in all competitions this season.

In defence, Ibrahima Konate replaces Jarell Quansah, partnering captain Virgil van Dijk.

Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold retain their positions on the left and right, respectively.

Klopp has also completely revamped the midfield, with Alexis Mac Allister returning alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones?

Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, and Ryan Gravenberch are all named on the bench.

A victory for Liverpool would see them draw level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

Liverpool: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Jones, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold.

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Clark, Danns, Quansah.

Everton: Pickford; Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Godfrey; McNeil, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Harrison; Calvert-Lewin
