Liverpool and Everton have defensive issues, Leicester must be more ruthless and West Ham can deepen José Mourinho’s woes
Without a win at Anfield in 22 years, an Everton side blowing hot more often than cold will fancy their chances of chalking one up against a Liverpool side who had lost three consecutive league matches before sparking back into life in the Champions League against RB Leipzig. While Dominic Calvert-Lewin is struggling to be fit, Yerry Mina will definitely miss out after hobbling off against Manchester City in midweek. Ben Godfrey or Mason Holgate could fill in at centre-back, but Liverpool’s shortcomings in that particular area have long been a source of greater concern. Should Fabinho win his battle to be fit, one suspects Ozan Kabak has already done enough in his first two games to merit a start alongside the Brazilian. That would allow Jordan Henderson to move back into his rightful place in midfield, where he has been sorely missed by the champions. BG
