Everton face a massive game against Liverpool on Saturday as the Toffees look to make it five wins from five at the expense of their local rivals.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have started the Premier League season like a house on fire. The front three of Dom Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, and James Rodriguez has propelled the Toffees to the summit.

However, Liverpool represents the biggest challenge yet for Ancelotti and his team. Indeed, the Reds come into the game a wounded animal following their 7-2 loss at Aston Villa last time out.

Unlike Liverpool, Everton have suffered a couple of injury concerns during the international break. Yerry Mina is a doubt, while Lucas Digne faces a race against time to be fit for the big game.

Ben Godfrey, then, could be thrown straight in, while Niels Nkounkou may also be given a starting berth.

With that, here’s our predicted XI for Everton as they take on Liverpool tomorrow.
