Liverpool vs Everton: 3 key battles which could decide the Merseyside derby | Premier League 2018-19

#2 Richarlison vs Trent Alexander-Arnold

Arnold is a promising young right back

The acquisition of Richarlison in the summer has brought in the much-needed creativity and flair on the flanks which was missing last season. The Brazilian started the season well for The Toffees, and it's a nightmare for any defender to play against him. He is the top scorer for the club this season, with 6 goals so far to his name.

The Everton forward would be up against one of the most promising right backs in the Premier League. Arnold has prospered under Jurgen Klopp, and he is everything the manager embodies.

The England international is not only sound in defense, but provides the necessary threat in attack as well. He repeatedly marauds forward to provide dangerous crosses for Salah and co to pounce on.

Everton's biggest threat comes from the flanks, but if the Liverpool right-back manages to get the better of the Brazilian on the day, it could be a long evening for The Toffees.
