3 in Midfield – How Liverpool should Line up versus Everton

Sturridge and Suarez SAS LiverpoolLiverpool and Everton fought out one of the most exciting merseyside derbies when the two teams met at Goodison park last year.
The match ended in a 3-3 draw with both sides playing all out attacking football, fighting hard to earn three points.
This time, the weekday derby at Anfield is of high significant with Liverpool leading their arch rivals by just a single point sitting in the 4th place.
Surely, the Reds hold stronger cards at home but their fantastic winning run was brought to an end by Villa and Everton will have learned one or two things to stop Liverpool from that game.
Brendan Rodgers perhaps made a huge mistake by playing Gerrard and Henderson in midfield having no real defensive midfielder and Villa took advantage.
The same way, Bournemouth also created many opportunities vs Liverpool in the FA Cup tie with the same midfield pairing.
Red must shift to 3 in the midfield against Everton as they do not have an out and out CDM in the form of Lucas Levia who is out with a long term injury.
Here is how Liverpool should line up versus Everton.

    Alberto instead of Coutinho? In a game of this magnitude? Are you drunk? Oh, I know! Your a Toffeeman! Lol
    I agree Alberto should get a chance but not in the starting line up of THIS game. I do agree with the rest of your team though. Cissokho but only because we got no one else! (How bad is that!!) Flanno if he was match fit would get my vote though. Good article though.

    • Just that Alberto will stick around in the central midfield more to help Gerrard and Hendo. Coutinho only stays forward with no contribution in defense and we have seen that Gerrard and Hendo have been vulnerable in midfield.. With Allen out injured, Alberto is the better option as he can play little deep still it is likely that Coutinho may start. Lets see

    I’d prefer to put Coutinho rather than Alberto… and Flanagan in place of Kelly
