The Premier League is back in action with another edition of the Merseyside derby this weekend as Everton lock horns with Arne Slot's Liverpool side in a crucial encounter at Goodison Park on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Everton vs Liverpool Preview
Everton are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Toffees eased past Wolverhampton Wanderers by a comprehensive 4-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this season. The away side played out a disappointing 3-3 draw against Newcastle United last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
