Liverpool and Everton are Merseyside rivals.
Liverpool won the Champions League last season and finished just a point behind eventual champions Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are as many as six points clear of second-placed City at the top of the league table at the moment.
As for Everton, the Merseyside outfit have failed to break into the top six of the league table and are only two points above the bottom three at the moment.
Richarlison, who joined the Toffees from Premier League rivals Watford in the summer of 2018 for an initial transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £35 million, has suggested that Marco Silva’s side should be competing with Liverpool for major titles.
Richarlison told The Guardian while discussing Everton’s draw with Liverpool last season costing the Reds the league title: “Everton should be bigger than that, this is a club that needs to be up at the top, fighting for titles, looking for a Champions League place every season.
“We need to grow, to bring new players on board to help us meet those objectives.”
Stats
Richarlison has scored two goals and provided two assists in 10 Premier League appearances for Everton so far this season, according to WhoScored.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the Brazil international forward made 32 starts and three substitute appearances in the league for the Toffees, scoring 13 goals and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
