Ighalo could also make his first appearance since extending his Man United loan from Shanghai Shenhua.
The 236th Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool can’t see the Reds crowned champions (due to Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Arsenal on Wednesday), still, it could take Jurgen Klopp’s troops closer to a first Premier League win.

Iwobi, who hasn’t had the best debut season at Goodison Park, should play a part against last year’s Champions League winners.

Partey ought to return to the line-up on Saturday night at the Wanda Metropolitano.
AC Milan may be too far behind to qualify for the Champions League given they trail Atalanta in fourth by 15 points, however, a spot in the top six remains a possibility.
Bennacer ought to feature for Stefano Pioli’s troops when they travel to a Lecce side in 18th spot, seeking to close in on Napoli in sixth.
The Rossoneri are without talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which makes their task extra difficult at Via del Mare.
Borussia Dortmund suffered an unexpected 2-0 defeat by relegation-threatened Mainz in midweek, which makes this weekend’s clash with RB Leipzig extra important in the battle to end the season in second.
Hakimi had a commendable showing for Lucien Favre’s troops against Mainz, but it wasn’t enough for BVB who fell to their second defeat at the Westfalenstadion this season.
The encounter at Red Bull Arena in the penultimate game of the Bundesliga campaign could see the home side move level with Dortmund if they claim all three points.
