Liverpool's manager may alter midfield for Everton match

Liverpool coach Arne Slot is facing tough decisions ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Everton. The team recently lost to Newcastle United in the League Cup final, where they struggled to perform, ending with a 2-1 defeat. Liverpool has a long break before their next game on April 2. This delay is due to the international break and the FA Cup quarter-finals, where Liverpool is already out of the tournament. Players returning from international duty may influence Slot's lineup choices. Injuries are a concern for Liverpool, with defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez potentially missing out. Jarell Quansah could step in at right-back, while Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are expected to pair up in the center. Andy Robertson remains the preferred option at left-back. The midfield also struggled in the last match and may see changes. Ryan Gravenberch, who has played a lot, might get more rest. Alternatives like Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could see more playing time in key roles. Liverpool's forward positions are also under scrutiny. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez did not make a strong impact in the recent defeat. Federico Chiesa’s goal has increased his chances of starting, although he may not play on the right side. Cody Gakpo, returning from injury, could challenge for a spot on the left, allowing Luis Diaz to move to a central forward role.
