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

Merseyside derby is such a special game - Klopp

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.

Liverpool could be boosted by Cody Gakpo, who returned to training ahead of the clash having missed the last two matches with a knee problem sustained in the Spurs defeat, while Diogo Jota is available again.

Despite playing recent World Cup qualifying matches, Alexis Mac Allister, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Alisson Becker are all expected to feature.
