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

Baines takes the set piece, but the delivery is cleared by the first Liverpool shirt. With such size amongst the squad, they should be doing better from there.

Liverpool press forward, but Can's attempted through ball is intercepted by Jagielka. Klopp's men look lethal on the counter attack.

Alexander-Arnold turns effortlessly on the edge of the area to loose his marker and goes for goal. His strike is easily collected by Robles.

Mirallas skips through a sea of red shirts, but his final strike on goal flies way over the target. The substitute certainly brings an injection of energy for The Toffees, but is it too little, too late?

FULL TIME

LIVERPOOL 3 - 1 EVERTON

It's all over at Anfield, with Liverpool leaving with three points and bragging rights over their Merseyside opponents. Mane opened the scoring just eight minutes in, which was levelled by an unexpected goal from Pennington. Coutinho then regained the advantage just before the interval and the win was capped off by substitute Origi scoring the third. Liverpool extend their phenomenal derby record on home turf and Klopp becomes the first Liverpool manager to win their first free Merseyside derbies against Everton. 

Thanks for tuning in.
