Liverpool have 10 games left this season, and although Klopp has said that he has ignored the four titles, he knows that this season is a great opportunity to win all kinds of titles, the team has rarely injured soldiers recently, and only Roberto Firmino has a foot injury before this game to rest and have a chance to return to the bench in this game. Regardless of Takushi Minano and Divok Origi team has five major strikers available, Salah, Mane, Díaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are all in very good shape recently, Salah broke the goal drought and scored twice against Manchester United, confidence and status have returned to the high point, Mane and Díaz have cooperated more smoothly after many games, the forward line is full of firepower, I believe that the home victory over Everton has a great chance, and now take stock of the five highlights of this battle!
1. Strong offensive firepower vs poor rear defense
After returning from the last international season, Liverpool played 6 games in all competitions, scoring a total of 2.83 goals in 17 pitches. The first battle in the relegation team Watford scored 2 goals has been spared, the Champions League quarterfinals against Benfica both scored 3 goals is not surprising, the league and the FA Cup against the strong enemy Manchester City two games a total of 5 goals I believe even Liverpool fans are unexpected, and most of the goals are wonderfully organized, no wonder even Manchester City, which conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League, can not resist, so the last battle against Manchester United scored 4 goals can be described effortlessly, and the recent situation of the opponent Everton is comparable to Manchester United. It also seems difficult to reach Liverpool's attack. In the first leg, Liverpool also won 4-1 away to Everton, Everton conceded 53 goals in 31 league games this season, ranking 6th among all teams in the Premier League, it is natural to play a relegation battle, with Everton's combat strength this season, I believe that 3 goals conceded away from Anfield may be the lowest consumption.
2. Diogo Jota starts in place of Díaz
Diaz has played three consecutive starts in this battle should have to be rotated to retire to the bench, Roberto Firmino has an injury even if he returns to this battle, he may be the first substitute, Diogo Jota has a great chance to replace Diaz, and the trident is combined with Salah and Mane, Diogo Jota has scored 15 goals in the league this season and scored 20 goals in all competitions, although the recent situation is not as good as Mane, but in fact, he is in quite good shape, the last six games have also handed over 2 goals and 2 assists, to retire from the bench is only too strong to start the three. Diogo Jota also scored in the first leg and was very active in the whole game, and his shots were also very threatening.
3. Derby Captain Jordan Henderson is bound to start
The recent Liverpool midfielder is of course the most prominent performance of Thiago, but this derby game is the captain Jordan Henderson should be the inevitable starter, liverpool city derby battle momentum is the most important, there is a captain in the squad "command" is more indispensable, can always remind teammates to wake up the spirit. Looking back at the first leg, Jordan Henderson handed over a goal and 1 assist, the derby is the first to fight, Jordan Henderson started 70 minutes is enough, of course, there will be Fabinho as the back. Against Everton, who are less organised, it is better to play with Naby Keita or Curtis Jones, but Thiago can take a truce to stay and stay a little more practical in the Champions League next week.
4. Mane has scored 5 goals in the last 6 games
Mane has led Senegal to the World Cup finals at the end of the year since defeating Egypt in the World Cup qualifiers, returning to Liverpool to deliver five goals and one assist in six games, playing the best performance in the past three years. Since Liverpool acquired left winger Díaz, Mane moved into the center position to cooperate, after a two-month adjustment period, Mane has adapted to the requirements of the center position, the performance of Manchester City and Manchester United in the past two games is really impeccable, there are shots, goals, assists, connections, and rushes are almost everything, the past two seasons have been criticized by Liverpool fans for slowing down the passing has lost its due standard, but in recent games, Mane has shown that he has not regressed, and he can also deliver more than expected performance under the new requirements of the new position. Mane and Diaz can constantly switch positions in the squad, and Díaz has already delivered two assists for Mane, and the cooperation between the two will be more cooperative.
5. Conat and Zimikas or rotation starters
After consecutive games against Manchester City and Manchester United, there should be a partial rotation in this game, and next week to deal with the Champions League final four against Villarreal, facing Everton with strength should be a good time to rotate to let the main player rest. Centre-back Konat has speed and strength, and it should be more appropriate to start this game against Everton's Richarlison. The other two defender positions Arnold and Andrew Robertson are very important to Liverpool, with Klopp's usual style, a pair of full-back players will rotate at the same time, while the full-back and center-back positions will not change at the same time as much as possible, so as not to lose control of the defensive system, I believe that Konat has a big starting opportunity, Zimikas or Joe Gomez may come on as many as the second half as a substitute.
