Everton vs Liverpool preview

After five games, Jurgen Klopp is still unsure about his Liverpool team. The Reds started the season with two draws and one defeat. However, it appeared they had got their season back on track after the 9-0 thumping win over Bournemouth. In the next game, Klopp’s men seemed to have the same problems and needed an injury-time winner from Fabio Carvalho to take all three points.

Now they have the little issue of travelling to their Merseyside neighbours to make it three consecutive wins. Meanwhile, Everton are having a nightmarish start of their own. The Toffees have failed to win a single match after five games. Everton had survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, and it appears this season could be the same story.

However, Jordan Henderson will be unavailable for two weeks after a hamstring injury against Newcastle United.
