Liverpool make the short trip across the city to take on rivals Everton for the first Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Premier League<\/a> clash kicks off at 2pm (GMT) on Sunday and will be available to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium takes place on Sunday afternoon as Liverpool look to quickly bounce back from their Champions League heartbreak in midweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arne Slot’s side were dumped out of the competition at the hands of PSG, crashing to a 4-0 aggregate defeat to the defending European champions.<\/p>\n\n\n

    A 2-0 loss to the French giants at Anfield means Liverpool have lost four of their last five matches. A 2-0 win over Fulham is the only bright spark in that run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rivals Everton, meanwhile, have picked up 10 points from their last five having twice come from behind to rescue a result at Brentford last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Liverpool team news vs Everton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The big blow for Liverpool is the absence of summer signing Hugo Ekitike. The Frenchman was forced off in the first half of their 2-0 defeat to PSG on Tuesday having ruptured an Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ekitike’s season and World Cup hopes are over. The former Eintracht man is expected to be sidelined until January, at the earliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Goalkeeper Alisson remains out, with Giorgi Mamardashvili set to continue between the sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are all long-term absentees for the defending champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Isak’s chance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Hugo Ekitike’s season-ending Achilles injury is a huge blow for Liverpool. While the Reds have struggled, Ekitike has made an impressive impact following his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Indeed, the France international ranks top for goals scored (11) and second for assists (4) for Arne Slot’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fortunately for the Reds, they have a readymade replacement waiting in the wings. Alexander Isak completed a British-record move to Anfield last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 26-year-old, though, has struggled in the months since his arrival. Without a full pre-season, Isak took time to get up to speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A serious injury in the 2-1 win at Tottenham in December also hindered the Swede, who has made just six league starts this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With Ekitike now out, however, Slot needs Isak to start delivering in front of goal. A sub-par first half against PSG in midweek hardly helped the former Newcastle man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Yet with Ekitike sidelined, Isak needs to start finding his form for the run-in. With a Champions League spot up for grabs, a first league goal on Merseyside this weekend would be the best place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n
