This is the Liverpool lineup as they play Everton this weekend.

There’s plenty for manager Jurgen Klopp to think about moving forward, particularly as several key players are coming back to full fitness.

We’ve seen Liverpool have a few form and injury concerns over the past few weeks, but the team managed to get through the international break with little to worry about and now look stronger.

Jordan Henderson got minutes with England, nobody else got injured and it appears as if the Naby Keita COVID worries were due to a false-positive.

We could watch Thiago back in action, although it would be a slight risk for Klopp to hand starts to two undercooked midfielders in the engine room in Henderson and the Spaniard.

Keita might be watching on and feeling slightly aggrieved at the conversation surrounding him losing his place. He’s been solid if not spectacular in the Premier League, but the good news is that he hasn’t picked up an injury yet.

The main talking about ahead of the game was Adrian. His mistake against Aston Villa was his fifth in 21 games and caused Scousers to question themselves and their philosophy towards supporting our own no matter what.

But anyway, that’s enough of the nattering. Here’s what we think the Liverpool lineup will be against Everton.

Adrian

The Spaniard has had his problems but there’s nobody else around to take his place in the team. Despite the transfer rumours about a replacement coming in, Klopp appears to be happy to continue with Adrian.

He’ll need to put the Villa game behind him and give us a reason to get behind him. It’ll also help the defence to feel a renewed sense of confidence in the man behind them.
