Preview...

Fresh from the international break a depleted Everton attempt to get over Seamus Coleman's recent leg break by trying to claim their first three points at Anfield since 1999.

Ronald Koeman has welcomed his players back with a catalogue of injuries while the Brazilian contingent in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side have had to face long journeys to get back in time.

What time does it start?

Kick-off is at 12.30pm on Saturday 1st April.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown on Sky Sports 1, with all the build up from 11.30am.

It’s a big game for…

Romelu Lukaku. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the Belgian’s future and whether he will remain at Goodison Park next season, with Chelsea sniffing around. He will need to prove to potential buyers that he can perform in the big games and there is no bigger game for Everton than their City rivals.

Remember when

The Reds ran riot at Anfield scoring four goals without reply, in their second 4-0 win over Everton in two years.

Form…

Liverpool: LWLWWD

Everton: WDWLWW

Odds…

Liverpool: 4/6

Everton: 3/1

Draw: 21/5

Everton teenager Tom Davies is another youngster who is proving his worth in the Premier League side's first team. The 18-year-old has been in a rich vein of form lately and this has not gone unnoticed. Koeman has awarded the midfielder with a deal to keep him at Goodison Park until 2022. The Liverpool-born star has progressed through Everton's academy and he now is established as a regular in the starting 11. He's certainly one to look out for.

There will be a minute of silence prior to kick off to show respect for Ronnie Moran. He devoted his life to Liverpool and he had a huge impact on the club during his time there. Respect.

Barkley hacks down Milner just 18 seconds in to give away the first foul of the fixture. The first of many I expect.

Liverpool look to make their first impression on the game, but Firmino's through ball is intercepted before it finds Mane. 

The visitors are looking the more energetic of the two sides, so far.

Barkley narrowly escapes a booking after crashing into the back of Can. The referee speaks to both of the captains in a plea to calm their sides down.

GOAL

Liverpool 1 - 0 Everton

Mane has opened the scoring with a terrific left-footed strike, leaving Joel Robles helpless. The scorer picks up the ball on the half way line and he receives the ball back and charges into the Everton box. He looks up and strikes it into the back of the net from just inside of the area. Top stuff.

Game on!

Can goes for goal from distance, but Williams bravely dives in front of the strike before it reaches the target. What a start this is for Klopp's men.
