‘We follow the protocol and Ali had to tick all the boxes and didn’t tick the last box, so that means he cannot start,’ Liverpool manager Arne Slot said before kick off.
‘The good thing for us is we have Kelleher, who has shown up many times this season and in previous seasons that he’s maybe even too good to be back-up.’
Caoimhin Kelleher replaces Alisson to make his ninth Premier League start of the season.
Elsewhere, both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Bradley are unavailable, meaning that Curtis Jones is set to deputise at right-back.
A win for Liverpool in the final Merseyside derby of the season a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League for Slot’s side.
Everton, meanwhile, are 17 points clear of the relegation zone and a win over Liverpool tonight would lift them into 13th place, level on points with Manchester United but ahead on goal difference.
