"I don't think I tell the media a lot the day before a game. We had recovery yesterday and we are going to train this afternoon. First of all we just have to see how they all feel. All I know is Alex probably felt his body more than ever before after the 60 minutes he played so let's see how he recovered today then we will see about the line-up later today and you will see tomorrow."
"If both of them are in the best form of their life then you consider more to play them together but it is quite clear that we have a certain structure of 4-3-3. Hugo can play from the left, different from the way Cody [Gakpo] and Rio [Ngumoha] do this and that's the good thing about our squad."
"We have multiple options but first of all they all have to stay fit to have these options. If all of them are not fit then we may have to use them both in a 4-4-2 but that all depends on the form of them and how many players we have available."
Arne Slot will make a late decision on Alexander Isak's starting status for the Merseyside derby against Everton. The £125m striker made his Liverpool debut midweek and played around 60 minutes in the Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. Isak is regaining full fitness after a prolonged move from Newcastle and may not be risked for the lunchtime kick-off. Training and recovery will determine the line-up. Hugo Ekitike, a £69m signing, has scored in each of his first three appearances. Slot outlined that a 4-3-3 remains the primary structure but a 4-4-2 is possible depending on fitness and form.
