Diogo Jota and Alisson appear to be close to returning from injury for Liverpool, with the Reds’ clash with Everton under threat due to bad weather.

Jota has not featured for United since suffering a rib injury in the home game against Chelsea in October, while Alisson limped off at Crystal Palace earlier that month.
Thankfully, it looks like they are almost back in the fold, with Slot confirming as much in his pre-Everton press conference, saying the same about Federico Chiesa.
“Our biggest concern right now is seeing how close they all are to playing,” Slot said.
“There are only three wounded left and that is our last line. Diogo is close to returning, Federico is close to returning and the same goes for Alisson.
“That means only Ebow, Connor and Kostas are getting a little more playing time.”
Jota and Alisson will not return for the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Saturday, but are expected to return next week.
