Liverpool must dust themselves off quickly after their chaotic Merseyside derby for the visit of Wolves in the Premier League this weekend.
Mohamed Salah had the Reds on course for victory in what was the final derby at Goodison Park before the Toffees move to their new stadium this summer.
But James Tarkowski’s stunning equaliser earned David Moyes’ side a draw to halt Liverpool’s momentum ever so slightly.
Despite that disappointment, Liverpool are still seven points clear of Arsenal at the top of the league with the Gunners’ prospects looking somewhat bleaker following news Kai Havertz is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Curtis Jones was sent off for scrapping with Abdoulaye Doucoure after the final whistle on Wednesday night, ruling him out of Sunday’s game at Anfield.
Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also shown red cards by Michael Oliver during the chaotic conclusion at Goodison for ‘using offensive, insulting, or abusive language.’
The Premier League initially reported the Liverpool boss would be banned for two matches as a result, but that was later deleted. But as things stand, Slot will remain on the touchline with the FA waiting to review Oliver’s report before making their decision on any further action.
If Slot is handed a touchline ban in the coming days, he will be banned from the dugout and touchline from two hours before kick-off until two hours after the match has finished.
As far as the squad is concerned, the Liverpool boss has an almost fully fit group to choose from with Trent Alexander-Arnold making his return from injury midweek.
Joe Gomez is still being assessed after he was forced off early in last Sunday’s defeat to Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup.
Predicted Liverpool XI to face Wolves
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz
