"I think Liverpool will win, I think it’ll be a tough game," Jamie Carragher said on the Across The Park Podcast ahead of the Merseyside derby.
"The big thing for Liverpool is could they get a goal in the first half and then it completely changes the game, Everton would have to come out and change a little bit.
"Everton’s way they set up is all built on not conceding and not conceding the first goal, really.
"I think it’s probably a game that Liverpool need right now. There will be a good atmosphere, it’s a night game which always adds to the energy, the pace of the game will be quicker.
"I do fear for Liverpool in midfield if they play the midfield they have of late, dealing with the midfield Dyche picked against Arsenal. Could they be overpowered?
"If it was me I would be going back to Fabinho and Henderson even though it hasn’t gone well this season but I think I’d go back to them just for the physicality."
Liverpool need to get back to winning ways urgently if they still hope to salvage the Premier League campaign.
Everton, on the other hand, are reinvigorated after the appointment of Sean Dyche who will make sure this game is a tough one for the Reds.
