David Moyes shares Everton team news vs Liverpool as player back in training

Charly Alcaraz could potentially play a part for Everton against Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

David Moyes has confirmed that the Argentine midfielder is back in training, with the Blues boasting an almost fully fit squad for the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium on 19 April.

Jack Grealish is the only player still sidelined at the Toffees after picking up a long-term injury and it remains to be seen whether he will play any part in the final six games of the season.

As things stand, the Scottish manager finds his team five points behind fifth-place Liverpool and are fully focused on climbing further up the table to qualify for Europe.

Myes can get the better of Arne Slot in L3 and put more pressure on the Dutch manager, whose future remains uncertain after a disappointing campaign with the Reds.

David Moyes handed Tyrique George dilemma for Everton vs Liverpool

The pressure is on Moyes to win the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium and solidify the Toffees’ chances of qualifying for Europe.

Against Brentford, Tyrique George came on and changed the game as Dwight McNeil struggled to have much of an impact in the 2-2 draw away from home.

Iliman Ndiaye also didn’t look his best playing on the left-wing at the Gtech Community Stadium, leaving the Scottish manager with a decision to make over shifting the Senegalese attacker to the right and bringing the Chelsea loanee into the starting lineup.

The 20-year-old could possibly provide a constant threat to Liverpool’s backline by taking on defenders and cutting inside to take shots, and the extra yard of pace he possesses over McNeil may come in handy.

Speaking to the media on 17 April, Moyes said, “Alcaraz is back training now. I think we’re as much close to full fitness as we possibly can be.”

Hill Dickinson Stadium have obvious new hero in Premier League

Beto has been instrumental in Moyes’ recent success at Everton, pipping Thierno Barry in the pecking order.

The Guinea-Bissau striker has cemented his place in the starting lineup and could be the catalyst to push the Toffees further up the table.

Having started the last five Premier League matches, the 28-year-old has scored four goals and provided one assist, becoming the target man the Scottish manager has been crying out for.

With Beto leading the line in fine form, fans in L3 will anticipate the Blues to be a serious goal threat as Liverpool visit a raucous Hill Dickinson Stadium.
