Liverpool vs Everton: Five key players to watch – time to crush the Toffies

Richarlison

Brazlian forward Richarlison is probably the Toffies best player, and he’ll be the one Ancelotti looks towards to provide a spark on Sunday.

He was guilty of missing chances in the embarrassing FA Cup loss to the kids, but with 10 goals and three assists in 27 Premier League appearances the 23-year-old has proven he knows where the back of the net is.

Richarlison has also embraced his new partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and both of them are excellent foil for each other.

The former Watford man enjoyed a few good chances in the cup game, but you can be sure that they won’t exist on Sunday. Van Dijk and Gomez are sure to be the pairing Klopp goes for, and will be a much more difficult proposition than Nat Phillips and Dejan Lovren were.

Despite his lack of height, Richarlison is good in the air – and some data providers have him down as the most proficient header of the ball in the Premier League. This makes his partnership with Calvert-Lewin especially dangerous, as they can both tee up the other.

Seeing both Everton’s attackers in this article highlights how good the pair are – but also shows up the obvious deficiencies within the rest of the Toffies side.

Klopp will be aiming to ruthlessly exploit those.
