Liverpool v Everton: 11 Opta stats ahead of Merseyside derby at Anfield

During his first spell as Everton boss, Moyes oversaw six draws in his 11 league visits to Anfield (lost five), including his last one in May 2013 (a 0-0 draw).

**Everton have never won a Premier League away game against a team starting the day top of the table (played 25, drew five, lost 20).**

Arne Slot’s Reds have scored at least twice in 26 of their 29 Premier League games this season, including each of their last nine in succession and their last 12 in a row at Anfield. If they score twice on Wednesday, they will be the first side in English top-flight history to score two or more goals in as many as 27 of their opening 30 matches of a campaign, a record currently held by Everton in 1894-95 (26).

**Liverpool have lost just two of their last 27 Premier League games that have come immediately after an international break (won 20, drew five). However, one of those losses was their only defeat in this top-flight campaign so far (v Nottingham Forest in September).**

Everton have scored 41 per cent of their Premier League goals this season from non-penalty set-pieces (13/32), a league-high ratio. By contrast, Liverpool have scored the lowest share of their goals in the competition this season from non-penalty set-plays at just six per cent (four/69).

**Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in eight goals in his last seven Premier League Merseyside derbies (six goals, two assists), both scoring and assisting in this season’s reverse fixture at Goodison Park. The only players to score and assist in both of their Premier League matches against Everton in a single season are Chris Sutton in 1993-94 and Alan Shearer in 1994-95.**
