Liverpool take on Everton on Sunday in the Premier League.

If you want the latest injury news, betting odds, and weather information then you’ve come to the right place.

There’s plenty of news ahead of the game and Rush The Kop have been worked hard to make sure we’ve covered every possible angle as you look forward to the first post-lockdown Merseyside Derby.

There’s the three options that could replace Mohamed Salah if he’s ruled out through injury, five key players to watch during the game and the predicted team (Naby Keita for a surprise inclusion, anyone?)

Talking about the injury news, Jurgen Klopp has given the all clear to everyone except the luckless Xherdan Shaqiri. That means Liverpool could be at full strength for the clash, something we’ve hardly ever seen.

This will come as absolutely no surprise to learn, but the Reds are heavy favourites to beat Everton on Sunday (odds supplied by Action Network). Liverpool are +480 to win and are expected to thrash the Toffies.

With Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Salah set to start together, you wouldn’t put it past this side to mirror the five goals scored in the reverse fixture of this back in December.

The weather is going to be pretty good, actually. By the time 7pm comes around, it should be dry and the temperature around 17 degrees. Not bad at all.

Keep an eye out for Richarlison vs Virgil van Dijk. The Brazilian has been running his mouth in the press, and van Dijk will be eager to put him in his place.

As if the game needed any more added tension, Richarlison has provided one more reason to smash the Toffies.

Everyone’s keen for this. The weather is going to be good, the odds are in Jurgen Klopp’s favour and Richarlison has poked the bear. I can’t wait.
