Everton v Liverpool: how to watch the Merseyside derby on TV, live stream, kick off time

Last year’s campaign couldn’t have ended differently for both teams - Liverpool’s title hopes crushed by final day drama and Everton elated by a relegation rescue. Frankly, both teams weren’t where they wanted to be.

On Wednesday night, Liverpool were moments away from taking five points from five games, until Fabio Carvalho’s 98th minute volley raised the roof inside Anfield.

Everton need to conjure a similar spirit with the Toffees taking three draws from their first five fixtures.

After the departure of Richarlison, the Toffees have played all of their fixtures without a functioning striker, relying on goals from gifted youngster, Anthony Gordon.

With former Brighton-forward Neal Maupay now signed on, the Merseyside derby is the perfect place for the club to turn the table on what has been a worrying start to their comeback campaign.

How did Everton and Liverpool fare in their last game?

Everton took an early lead against Leeds United through an intricate passage of play, started and finished by Anthony Gordon. The Whites equalised as Pickford was wrong-footed and unsighted by a shot from new signing, Luis Sinisterra.

Liverpool won their last game against Newcastle in dramatic fashion with Fabio Carvalho grabbing a winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

The reds found themselves 1-0 down through a first-half finish from Alexander Isak only to crawl their way back through a Bobby Firminho equaliser and a late volley from the new Portuguese midfielder.
