What is the team news?
For Liverpool, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah are expected to be fit to play despite missing their side's friendly victory over Blackburn Rovers. The same pair also sat out an internal training match the weekend before but Liverpool have said there are no injury concerns surrounding the two players.
The news is not so good for Everton. Fabian Delph has had to miss training along with Andre Gomes while Theo Walcott has had a minor surgery which puts him out of contention for a month. Yerry Mina is also out after tearing his thigh muscle at the start of June.
What are they saying?
One of the key narratives surrounding both Everton and England focuses on Jordan Pickford. The goalkeeper has the chance to recharge and reassert his presence in the countdown to the rescheduled Euros despite pressure from Burnley’s Nick Pope and Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson.
