Liverpool’s return to Premier League action pits them against local rivals Everton at Anfield on October 21.
Jurgen Klopp’s side signed off for the international break with a 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, meaning they have taken just one point from their past two league games. Their previous match was that controversial 2-1 defeat at Tottenham, which remains the Reds’ only defeat of the season.
The hosts will be confident of securing another win over their foes from across Stanley Park, but Everton are building some momentum after picking up a 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth before the break.
Klopp will want to field a strong lineup for this clash but, with a Europa League game at Toulouse to come next week, he may need to consider some rotation in order to keep players fresh.

Liverpool vs Everton lineups
Klopp will be forced into changes for this game with left-back Andrew Robertson set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a shoulder injury on international duty with Scotland.
Dyche remains a creature of habit as Everton boss, and victory over Bournemouth will be a building block for him, so the visitors could be unchanged.
Below are the projected starting lineups for both teams ahead of their Premier League match at Anfield on October 21.
Liverpool starting 11
(4-3-3): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Tsimikas — Mac Allister, Endo, Szoboszlai — Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Injured: Thiago, Kelleher, Bajcetic, Gakpo, Robertson
Suspended: Jones
Kostas Tsimikas is ready to come in as a direct replacement for Robertson in the Liverpool defence. Curtis Jones’ suspension means an open spot in midfield and the grit of Wataru Endo could be preferred to Harvey Elliott.
Everton starting 11
(4-4-1-1): Pickford (GK) — Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko — Harrison, Garner, Onana, McNeil — Doucoure — Calvert-Lewin
Injured: Coleman, Alli, Gomes
Suspended: None
Dyche said on Friday that Everton had no fresh injury worries ahead of this match and the same team that cruised past Bournemouth could be trusted again.
James Garner and Jack Harrison netted their first Premier League goals of the season against the Cherries and will likely keep their places, with Abdoulaye Doucoure in more of an advanced role behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Seamus Coleman, Dele Alli, and Andre Gomes remain sidelined.
