How Liverpool could line up vs Everton after Andy Robertson injury and triple doubt
Liverpool's next Premier League fixture is none other than the Merseyside derby against Everton.
Jurgen Klopp's side host their city rivals at Anfield on October 21, in the first game back after the international break at 12:30pm on Saturday afternoon.
As is often the case with such pauses to the domestic calendar, there is often the risk of players returning with injuries having been in action for their country.
That has unfortunately transpired on this occasion, with Andy Robertson forced off with a shoulder issue during Scotland's Euro 2024 defeat by Spain. It remains to be seen how long the left-back will be sidelined for, though there is a suggestion it may not be a quick return.

Another problem Liverpool will have to contend with ahead of going head-to-head with Everton is the club's South American quartet will each be taking part in World Cup qualifiers in the days leading up to the derby before completing the long journey home to England.
Brazil take on Uruguay on October 17 (October 18, 1am UK time), which will see Darwin Nunez leading the line for the latter. One positive as regards this showdown is Alisson may play no part, having continued to be benched by his home county.
Alexis Mac Allister and Argentina make the trip to Peru, meanwhile Luis Diaz will also be playing away from home as Colombia visit Ecuador. There is every chance none of Nunez, Mac Allister and Diaz are risked for Everton, as was the case after the last international break (with the exception of Mac Allister, who was started against Wolves).
