Everton and Liverpool will face each other in the Merseyside derby this weekend.

Marco Silva, Manager of Everton looks on prior to the Premier League match between Cardiff City and Everton FC at Cardiff City Stadium on February 26, 2019 in Cardiff, United Kingdom.

Mark Lawrenson has suggested on BBC Sport how Everton should approach the Merseyside derby against Liverpool this weekend.

Everton will take on Liverpool at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds are in good form at the moment and are challenging for the league title this season, and Jurgen Klopp’s side will head into the derby as favourites.

Liverpool legend Lawrenson has suggested how the Toffees should approach the derby in order to get something from it.

Lawrenson wrote on BBC Sport: “If Everton are gritty, and approach the game thinking they want to take a point at the very least, then I can see them getting some joy.”

Frustrating Liverpool

Liverpool do have a good record against Everton, and despite being the visiting team, the Reds will be confident of picking up all three points from the Merseyside derby.

Everton do play an attacking game, but they need to be more cautious and more pragmatic if they are to keep the Liverpool attackers at bay.

It is hard to see too many goals in the Merseyside derby, and one should not be surprised if the match is decided by a single goal scored from a set-piece.
