Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Marco Silva’s Everton will face each other in the Merseyside derby this afternoon.
Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from the defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek with victory over Everton at home in the Merseyside derby this afternoon.
The Reds have a strong record in the Merseyside derby in recent years, and Jurgen Klopp’s side will be confident of picking up all three points from the Premier League encounter at Anfield.
With Manchester City winning on Saturday, the pressure is on Liverpool to do the same today and now let the Citizens increase the gap at the top of the table.
Everton, though, will not be easy pushovers, as the Toffees are in good form at the moment and will head into Anfield high on confidence.
The Toffees will head into the Merseyside derby on the back of a 1-0 victory over Cardiff City at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
Marco Silva’s side will be determined to put on a good show at Anfield and claim the bragging rights.
This is how Liverpool and Everton will line up for the Merseyside derby this afternoon:
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
Substitutes: Mignolet, Matip, Moreno, Milner, Keita, Sturridge, Origi.
