Liverpool vs Everton predicted team: All eyes on Takumi Minamino debut
Takumi Minamino, Divock Origi, Harvey Elliot
Harvey Elliot made his Premier League debut for Liverpool when he came on for the last few minutes against Sheffield, and he will get his chance to carry on accumulating minutes against Everton on Sunday.
Elliot has been a fixture during the Carabao Cup run and has looked good – has threatened to score – without ever hitting the back of the net. But that lack of composure in front of goal is understandable, given his young age.
Minamino can play anywhere across the front three and should pop up on the left wing here. Over the course of his career, the Japanese international has 84 times on the left, 50 times on the right, 42 times as a forward and 34 as an attacking midfielder.
This versatility will please Klopp, and the German will pick the former Salzburg man on the left of the front three.
That means Divock Origi comes in as the main forward. Origi has played well whenever he’s been given the chance, which have been few and far between after his excellent double against Everton in the league.
Next. Three players who took it to the next level in December. dark
Rhian Brewster, who is available for this, will start on the bench and you can bet he’ll be introduced later in the fixture.
