Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister will miss what is likely to be the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park after he was cautioned during the midweek draw at Newcastle.

That brought the Argentine onto five bookings for the season, which means he has been handed a one-match ban. With three yellow cards in the Champions League so far, too, he will also miss the European clash with Girona next week.

Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate are also only one booking away from a one-game suspension in the Premier League with five matches to get through without a caution to reach the 19-match cut-off point.

Konate, like Conor Bradley, though, is currently out injured. Both players came off against Real Madrid last week and have been missing since. Both are set for spells on the sidelines with no exact return date slated just yet.

While Liverpool played on Wednesday, Federico Chiesa got an hour under his belt for the Reds' U21s. The Italian winger scored 11 minutes into that appearance and perhaps could make a return to the matchday squad tomorrow. A decision will need to be made on whether or not Chiesa is ready for a potential senior cameo off the bench.

Alisson Becker remains out but is edging closer to a return. Diogo Jota is still missing as well but there is no news on when he should be back in training at this stage. Kostas Tsimikas is currently out with an issue he picked up in training.

Trent Alexander-Arnold impressed off the bench at Newcastle with a decision required on whether he is able to start. It seems likely that he was taken out of the starting XI on Wednesday with the short turnaround to the Saturday fixture in mind.

Liverpool.com says: It is in defense where the Reds look a little stretched at the moment, with Arne Slot set to give the latest update at 1.15pm UK time (8.15am ET). Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez didn't perform well at Newcastle but at least one of them will be needed again here. Gravenberch looked tired at St James' Park, too, but he will almost certainly be asked to go again.
