JUST IN: ‘New’ kick-off time for Everton vs. Liverpool, TV channel, prediction team news, referee & VAR
Everton manager Sean Dyche says there are “a couple of knocks but nothing serious”
among his players ahead of the final Premier League Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
Michael Keane is a doubt due to a knee injury, while Tim Iroegbunam, James Garner and Youssef Chermiti are still sidelined.
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is suspended after receiving his fifth booking of the season during the draw at Newcastle United.
It means that Arne Slot’s side will be missing up to seven players, with Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, Allison and Kostas Tsimikas still out and Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa unlikely to be involved.
