Liverpool XI vs Everton: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Merseyside derby today

Arne Slot could freshen up his attack at Anfield after painful Carabao Cup final defeat

Title charge: Arne Slot and Liverpool must get back to winning ways

Liverpool have been boosted by the returns to fitness of Alisson Becker and Ryan Gravenberch for the latest Merseyside derby against Everton, but will remain without Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The right-back, who is reportedly on the verge of sealing a free summer transfer to Real Madrid, has not featured since suffering an ankle injury during the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain earlier in March, and missed the recent Carabao Cup final defeat by Newcastle at Wembley.

Alexander-Arnold is said to be targeting a return to the pitch before the end of April for his final few weeks as a Liverpool player.

There is no such wait for Alisson and Gravenberch, both of whom took full part in training at Kirkby on Monday after recent fitness scares and have been confirmed as fit to play by Slot.

First-choice goalkeeper Alisson suffered a concussion during Brazil’s 2026 World Cup qualifying win over Colombia last week and returned to Liverpool early ahead of the humiliating defeat by Argentina, now on track to return to the starting XI after deputy Caoimhin Kelleher got the nod at Wembley.

Gravenberch withdrew from the Netherlands squad ahead of their two-legged Nations League quarter-final tie against Spain with an unspecified problem sustained against Newcastle.
