Here’s the confirmed Liverpool lineup vs Everton at Goodison Park today. The Reds return to the scene of a game-changing fixture from last season.

It’s not just Everton vs Liverpool today – there’s a lot more behind this fixture than just three points. For one thing, Rafa Benitez will manage the Blue half of Merseyside in a derby.

That’s going to be strange – though, at least he’ll hear his name sung at Goodison.

The other half of this is that it brings back memories of last season. It was this fixture last October that derailed Liverpool’s entire season. Virgil van Dijk received a horror challenge from Jordan Pickford that ruled him out all season.

Thiago, too, didn’t leave unscathed and missed months of action after the game.

Liverpool have some statements to make here, then. This could be a cathartic experience if the Reds play to their best.

So here’s the confirmed Liverpool lineup Jurgen Klopp has gone for vs Everton.

We predicted a very strong XI ahead of this one. In fact, we thought Klopp could put out his best XI in years.

The players were finally fit, with Thiago finding regular football. And that’s exactly what the boss has done. This is a truly sensational Liverpool team and one we think will be far too much for Everton to handle.

So let’s see how fans reacted to this one.

Reaction

An overwhelmingly positive reaction to this one, then – and rightfully so. This is a fantastic team, the best we’ve seen in nearly 18 months.

Now time to put Everton in the dirt.
