Ian Wright says ‘Liverpool fans know’ that Everton can beat them at Anfield next Monday night ahead of the Merseyside derby.

The Premier League legend added that Jurgen Klopp looks ‘confused’ and ‘bemused’ as his Liverpool side continues to struggle.

Whilst Everton, who had new boss Sean Dyche in the dugout for the first time, beat leaders Arsenal 1-0 at Goodison Park, their neighbours were torn apart by Wolves hours later.

A number of weeks ago, everything was going wrong for the Toffees, and whilst fans are still against the board, Dyche’s arrival and that win over Arsenal have certainly lifted things.

That can’t be said for their neighbours, who are sitting tenth in the table on 29 points. Everton are in the final relegation spot with 18 points.

Ahead of that match, Wright sounded out a warning to the Red side and what their fans will have to admit, as he told the Kelly and Wrighty Show on Premier League Productions (06/02/23 at 2:40 pm).

“Liverpool fans, they know that at this moment, Everton coming off that and coming to play them,” said Wright. “Liverpool fans will know that they could be beaten by Everton. They know. They are very honest with themselves.

“You are looking at a team. We are talking about intensity. Energy. Organisation. All gone. We aren’t talking about a couple of games. We are talking about the season. We don’t know what’s going on.

“I was at the Golf club, the guys were saying ‘he’s lost the players. Something has gone wrong’. It’s not getting in now. There is no drive to want to help the manager and prove we can get back into this.

“Klopp is coming out in interviews and saying ‘I don’t know what’s going on’. It’s confusing. He’s bemused.”

KLOPP VS DYCHE

The two have a history from when the Englishman was the manager of Burnley and now they meet again.

Whilst Everton showcased their defensive power against the best team in England, the pressure of a derby game is different and there are only so many games where Mo Salah remains quiet.

Surely he comes to the party sooner rather than later, but can the Reds keep a clean sheet themselves?!

The answer is probably no because they are all over the shop, either way, it will be a pretty tasty affair and one that sees Everton going into the match with momentum.
