RW – Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian international has already scored more goals than he had last season in 14 fewer matches. Salah found the net in the previous fixture against Everton and will be hoping to do the same this weekend. Jordan Pickford and the Toffees backline are bound to have a tough time handling him.

CF – Roberto Firmino

The Brazilian had a good game versus Leipzig and might’ve even found the net during the first half had he not gone forward before Salah made a pass to him. Firmino doesn’t have a single goal against Everton and this weekend’s match would be the perfect occasion for that.

He’ll be looking to increase his goal tally while also trying to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

LW – Sadio Mane

Given the finishing for his goal against Leipzig, one would find it hard to believe that the Senegalese winger has only 11 goals this season. Mane will be hoping to score at a more prolific rate during the remainder of 20/21.

The 28-year-old has scored twice in Liverpool’s last three fixtures against Everton and will be keen on finding the net on Saturday. Mane being back among the goals will certainly be a major boost for the Reds.
