Luis Díaz, precisely this October 21, will complete a month without scoring in any of the six games he played between his club and the Colombian national team. The last time he scored a goal was against LASK for the UEFA Europa League.
Liverpool needs to win so as not to give up more ground compared to the leaders, the Reds are fourth with 17 points and are closely watching Tottenham and Arsenal who have 20 points at the top of the table. Everton is experiencing another reality, who needs to win to avoid falling into the relegation zone; the blue team only has a score of 7.
It will be the third time that Luis Díaz faces Everton since he became a Liverpool player. They tied once and won the remaining time, both games were during the previous year. Liverpool is coming off a draw as a visitor against Brighton that resulted in an opaque presentation by Luis Díaz, but what was their controversial defeat at the hands of Tottenham a day later is still in the memory. For their part, the Toffees arrive after taking a breath in what was their rout of Bournemouth.
The last time the Merseyside derby was played was last February, it was also played at Anfield and the victory went to Liverpool, who won 2-0 with goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Mathès Gakpo.
The main unknowns are the developments that Jürgen Klopp may present in his starting lineup, especially taking into account that some of his players come from long trips and without training with the team due to commitments with their national teams, as is the case with the Colombian Luis Díaz, the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez or the Argentine Alexis Mac Allister.
Possible formations
Liverpool: Alison; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Tsimika;, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Díaz and Núñez.
Everton: Pickford; Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Young; Garner, Doucoure, McNeil, Onana; Harrison y Calvert Lewin.
