Liverpool v Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Mohamed Salah double
The two Merseyside rivals clash at Anfield as the Premier League returns from international break
Liverpool take on Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday in a bid to bounce back following two successive matches without a win.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds suffered a last-gasp defeat at Tottenham following a VAR-fueled controversy and also drew 2-2 with Brighton in the last game before the international break.
Liverpool have had problems in midfield and at the back this season and have conceded nine goals in the opening eight matches. However, they have had no problems at the other end of the field, having netted 18 times.
Everton have been floundering towards the foot of the table so far this season, having only just escaped relegation last time, but have won twice in their last three league fixtures.
