‘Robertson already has Jack Harrison blueprint’ ahead of Liverpool v Everton
Everton striker Jack Harrison will be hopeful of causing problems for Liverpool on Wednesday.
The Reds are preparing for the final Merseyside Derby of the campaign as David Moyes’ side look set to travel to Anfield on 2 April.
This comes just 49 days after the clash at Goodison, which resulted in Curtis Jones and Arne Slot being sent off after the final whistle.
This will make for an interesting clash in L4, in which Andy Robertson will be keen on keeping Harrison quiet throughout.
Robertson must Harrison blueprint at Everton
The Scotland international full-back has had a difficult campaign at times but will be hopeful to end on a positive note in the Premier League.
This could kickstart against the Toffees with a positive performance against the Reds’ biggest local rivals.
If the 31-year-old is to start, as he did in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle United, he will likely come up against Harrison for the Goodison club.
The Leeds United winger has had a difficult campaign of his own and will also be hopeful of making a splash in the Merseyside derby.
With that being said, Robertson already has a blueprint of how to deal with the Englishman after his last outing against West Ham.
The winger featured for 79 minutes at Goodison Park but was limited to a zero per cent shot on target rate while only completing one dribble [FotMob].
The 28-year-old also completed just 20 per cent of his crosses while also losing out on four duels up against Emerson for the Hammers.
This will be music to Robertson’s ears as he looks ahead to featuring against Harrison if he starts ahead of Kostas Tsimikas in full-back.
Liverpool need to win v Everton
Arne Slot will be desperate to secure a huge three points in the derby.
The Reds have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two games against Newcastle and against PSG in the Champions League round of 16.
A win against the Toffees would firmly cement the Anfield club’s place at the top of the Premier League, which is all that matters now.
| Position | Club | Played | Goal difference | Points |
| 1. | Liverpool | 29 | +42 | 70 |
| 2. | Arsenal | 30 | +30 | 61 |
The gap can open up in 1st once again after Arsenal’s win on Tuesday (1 April) against Fulham.
