Premier League 2025-2026: Everton-Liverpool, the likely lineups

Everton and Liverpool take the field at 3 p.m. for a match valid for the 33rd day of the Premier League. The derby has an important significance for both teams: the Toffees must win to continue their race for Europe, in a sprint that sees them in contention with Chelsea, Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton and Sunderland, all packed within two points. The Reds must save their season by qualifying for the next Champions League: Slot’s team will only need to maintain their current fifth place.

Everton are virtually full, missing only Jack Grealish. In attack will be Beto supported by McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye. In the midfield Garner will pair with Gueye in front of the defense.

Liverpool on the other hand has to cope with several absences that threaten to jeopardize this season finale. Ekitike is injured and will only return next year, Alisson, Bradley, Gomez and Endo are also out of action. Isak plays from 1′ but is not 100 percent, behind him will be Salah, Wirtz and Ngumoha. In the middle Jones with Gravenberch.
