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

Liverpool press forward with Firmino leading the attack. Once again, he does all the hard work, but fails with the final product. His attempted pass is over hit and it goes out of play for an Everton throw in.

The ball flies deep into the box and Holgate attempts to whip it back into the danger zone towards Lukaku. It's over hit and to the relief of the home fans, the offside flag is raised.

Coutinho picks up a through ball from Can, he cuts inside and delivers a strike on goal but it's straight at the goalkeeper. Joel parries the ball up in the air and Jagielka manages to clear it off the line. It's been poor so far from Koeman's men.

Everton continue to struggle to provide service for their top scorer. They're loosing the majority of battles in the middle of the park and this is allowing Klopp's men the time to play.
