The Merseyside derby await Everton and Liverpool on Saturday, and Arne Slot has already given the Toffees a bit of help in his press conference.
Everton will be high on confidence after a 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, which now puts us on 14 points after 14 games in the Premier League.
The focus now turns to the Merseyside derby on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool will provide a totally different test for the Toffees as the runaway leaders at the top of the Premier League, but they did slip-up against Newcastle last time out.
After the game, Arne Slot even gave Everton a bit of a blueprint to follow on how to cause his side problems in the Merseyside derby.
Arne Slot reveals a Liverpool weakness after Newcastle draw
Ashley Young has already guaranteed himself a starting spot for the Toffees after putting in one of his best performances of the season against Wolves.
He was up against one of the form players in the Premier League, Matheus Cunha, which proves just how well he did in his display.
However, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo will provide a different challenge.

Arne Slot was reflecting on the Newcastle United came when he disclosed what caused his Liverpool side issues at St James’ Park.
He revealed that Newcastle’s aggression forced the Reds into all sorts of errors.
“They were really aggressive and they forced us into too many mistakes, and that led to a few chances for them.”
Arne Slot hands Everton their blueprint for the Merseyside derby
Everton had some real success pressing the Wolves central defenders on Wednesday night, forcing them into a number of errors.
The free-kick that Ashley Young scored from was a result of pressing high up the pitch and capitalising on lose balls, and now they’ve been given the green light to do it against Liverpool.
Of course, you need to err on the side of caution when doing it against Liverpool, but it’s a clear weakness, as Slot even admits himself.
Nottingham Forest did a brilliant job of keeping the ball high up the pitch and putting the pressure on, so there are definitely some things Dyche can take from this.
