Liverpool will make a short trip to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League tonight in the latest installment of the Merseyside derby.
This match marks the final derby fixture of the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool.
Wednesday’s game follows Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Fulham, marking their return to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Reds will face Sean Dyche’s side in the first of their final five fixtures before the campaign draws to a close.
However, Klopp’s side will be without several key players due to injuries.
Diogo Jota, who recently returned from a knee injury and scored in the victory against Fulham, suffered a hip injury in that match.
Klopp confirmed that Jota will be sidelined for around two weeks and will therefore miss the game against Everton.
“Unfortunately, yes.
Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it’s a little bit more,” he said.
“So he will be out for two weeks.
“Besides that, no [other new injury concerns].”
The manager added of Jota: “I cannot really say a lot about it, to be honest.
Before which game where he didn’t start, he got a knock – normal challenge, then felt a little bit at the hip.
“That was then fine because we didn’t start him, brought him on, that was alright.
“Then he started the last game, was obviously OK and then with the finish… it’s a small one but we are late in the season, so obviously now it’s not a great moment for each injury pretty much.
“It’s not a big one?
When I say two weeks, actually really it’s pretty much nothing but enough to not be available.”
In addition to Jota, several other players will be unavailable for the Reds.
Conor Bradley, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, and Ben Doak are all sidelined as they recover from their respective injuries and will not feature against Everton.
Below is the full Liverpool squad available for today’s game against Everton according to Liverpool Echo:
Goalkeepers: Alisson, Caoimhin Kelleher, Adrian.
