On Saturday, Everton and Liverpool are set to lock horns in the final Merseyside derby to take place at Goodison Park.
Everton will be in a confident mood going into the game against their city rivals after they ran out 4-0 winners over Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out.
Meanwhile, Liverpool suffered a setback in midweek, dropping two points in their 3-3 draw at Newcastle United.
For the most part, however, Arne Slot has done a great job at Anfield since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
Liverpool are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are also top of the Champions League table.
Everton boss Sean Dyche, speaking to reporters ahead of the Merseyside derby, shared what he’s already noticed about Slot’s style and methods.

Everton boss Sean Dyche says Arne Slot ‘seems to be letting things go along’ at Liverpool
Dyche, speaking to the Everton media team, says he’s noticed how Slot has not diverged too much from how Klopp used to operate.
“They’re operating in a high-tempo manner, and they can still be affective in different ways,” said Dyche.
“[Arne Slot] has seemed to have kept that going in their own style, and externally, he seems to be letting things go along.
“It seems to have been a smooth transition. They’re going well. That’s quite obvious and they’re a good outfit. We’re going to have to be on top of our form.”
