EVERTON TEAM NEWS.
Liverpool’s lack of any new injury concerns as they made their way back from Singapore on Wednesday night will be a huge relief to Klopp.

With Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara expected to resume training before Liverpool’s trip to Stamford Bridge, the Reds’ midfield has received a tremendous boost. Although it might be too soon for the pair to play against Darmstadt.

Conor Bradley and the Spaniards didn’t accompany the team on their Asia tour because they were still receiving treatment at the AXA Training Center.

Klopp immediately downplayed concerns about Alexis Mac Allister’s injury against Bayern, as the Argentine only sustained a bruised knee as a result of a knee-on-knee collision. Although the midfielder had assured Klopp that continuing would have been fine, friendlies are never the time to take risks. It is unknown if the World Cup champion will play at Deepdale on Monday.

PREDICTED LINEUP:.

For Monday’s matchup with Darmstadt, Liverpool could kick off as follows:.

(4-3-3) Alisson, Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz.

PREDICTION:.

Liverpool has scored 15 goals in four games this summer, a prolific goal-scoring season.
Ten goals conceded, though, have led to concerns about Liverpool’s defense.
While they finalize plans for their trip to the capital next weekend, Klopp will want a more defensively sound performance at Deepdale.

Given the fierce competition for spots, don’t be surprised if Liverpool players treat this match like a contest, hoping to convince coach Jurgen Klopp to give them the starting spot against Chelsea on Sunday.

Liverpool 4-0 Darmstadt.

More news……..

Liverpool has already made an £82,000-a-week offer for a creative player worth £34 million.

Liverpool have long been linked to Gabri Veiga, the young Spaniard and Celta Vigo, and now the Reds have made an offer to sign him.

However, the Catalan outlet stressed it would be difficult for the Anfield club to match the €40m, or £34m, release clause.

Now, according to Spanish source, Deportes COPE Galicia (via Estadio Deportivo), Liverpool have made a sizable offer of €25m to attract the midfielder.

To sweeten the deal, the Premier League giants are willing to loan the player to Celta so he can play in La Liga next season.

The loan option would certainly not benefit Jurgen Klopp, who is in desperate need of reinforcements in the center after replacing five midfielders this summer. Veiga is a creative attacking midfielder, who directly contributed to 15 goals (11 goals and 4 assists) last season.

In the last game of the season, he helped his youth club survive relegation by scoring a brace against Spanish champions Barcelona.

He made six appearances at the Under-21 European Championship for Spain, playing 31 minutes in the final against England.

Liverpool could have a good chance of signing Veiga from Celta Vigo as former Anfield boss Rafael Benitez is the Spanish side’s manager.

Rafa sold us a jewel in the form of Philippe Coutinho when he was at Inter and Sturridge when he was at Chelsea.
