Slot spoke candidly about his plan for Isak in the upcoming weeks as he ramps up to full match fitness. Isak was not in the squad at all for Burnley which surprised many. Slot informed us that “We think, with a week when we play three games in seven days, this is the best lead-up for him to be available against Atletico Madrid (on Wednesday)”. Slot then went on to suggest Isak might be fit enough to play 45 minutes in one of either Atletico Madrid or Everton, but not both. Logic would suggest that would mean Isak might get 20-30 minutes against Atletico Madrid off the bench in midweek and then may see 30-45 minutes against Everton off the bench. And then ready to start against Palace in GW6 as we have suggested.
Slot, speaking on Friday, announced “Curtis Jones got injured in the last game and so he will not be available against Burnley but the rest of them all came back without a problem and I think that is not always the situation early in the season”. Outside of Jones being ruled out for Burnley, positive news for Liverpool and Slot where injuries are concerned post international break. Jones could return this weekend.
Mac Allister was on the receiving end of a poor tackle that could have resulted in a serious injury. Luckily he was able to continue and seemed mostly fine, but he was brought off at half-time for Bradley, with Szoboszlai then moving from right-back into midfield.
Bradley was excellent when coming on against Burnley, and one of only a few Liverpool players who left that game with any credit. With Mac Allister’s injury concerns, I think Slot will start Bradley at right-back and start Szoboszlai alongside Gravenberch.
Ekitike, Salah and Gakpo will start once again with Wirtz behind them.

David Moyes speaking Friday revealed “We’ve got a concern about Ili Ndiaye – he’s got a knock, so we’ll need to see. We’re not sure how he’ll be for tomorrow”, however despite Moyes causing concern among the FPL community, Ndiaye did start and played the full 90 minutes. He will be good to go for Liverpool.
Mykolenko was withdrawn from the Ukranian National Team squad after suffering a setback to the injury that kept him out of the first 2 games of the season. Moyes revealed “Vitalii Mykolenko is around it. We’ll need to see whether he’s going to make it or not. Hopefully he might be okay”, but Mykolenko clearly was not cleared by Everton’s medical team as he did not make the matchday squad for Aston Villa in GW4. Moyes comments do indicate the injury isn’t serious and Mykolenko could play against Liverpool given he was in contention to play last weekend.
Aznou returned to the squad, but only on the bench as Moyes opted to play Garner at left-back, as he had done in previous GWs this season. If Mykolenko is not fit enough to start then Garner will start at left-back again.
Branthwaite’s return is unlikely to come in GW4 as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Moyes speaking on the the young centre-back stated “Jarrad Branthwaite is getting closer but he’s not quite there yet – but he’s certainly getting closer. I’ve no idea at the moment, but I think we’ll be a few weeks before we’re at that stage.” Branthwaite will replace Keane in the starting XI when he is eventually fit, but that is clearly still weeks away.
Everton have won two games on the bounce, and the new players have brought a real energy and quality to the team. Grealish and Dewsberry-Hall have been great since joining and are locked in starters at this point. Grealish and Ndiaye are guaranteed starters every week when fit.
Despite a poor performance, Beto will start against Liverpool. He has had some good games against Liverpool before and Moyes won’t throw Barry in to start in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
