FAC: Liverpool v Everton preview
Liverpool v Everton preview
Liverpool could give a debut to Virgil van Dijk in the FA Cup third round Merseyside derby clash with Everton on Friday.
Van Dijk has trained with his new Liverpool team-mates on Wednesday for the first time since he completed his £75m move to Anfield.
Former Celtic defender Van Dijk will compete with Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez for a regular place in Klopp's starting XI.
The Philippe Coutinho transfer saga continues to rumble on and he'll miss this game due to a thigh injury.
Liverpool rebuffed a series of offers from Barca for Coutinho last summer but it has been reported the Spanish side may return with a fresh bid this month.
This is the second time in a month that these two rivals have met after Everton snatched a 1-1 draw when they travelled to Anfeld in December.
Jurgen Klopp has fitness updates ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup match with Everton, but will record signing Virgil van Dijk make his debut?
Liverpool's top scorer Mohamed Salah (groin) and Coutinho (thigh) will miss the FA Cup derby.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson (hamstring) and defender Alberto Moreno (ankle) are still recovering from injuries.
Ross Barkley is closing in on a return from a hamstring injury for Everton.
Barkley hasn't played since May 2017 in a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal after sustaining an injury in training in August.
Leighton Baines, Ramiro Funes Mori and Seamus Coleman remain on the sidelines.
