📊EOTK Stats Pack: Liverpool v Everton - Form guide, Premier League head-to-head and MORE
We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead of the first Merseyside derby of the Premier League season!
The Premier League resumes following the October international break with a fixture which has been part of all 32 seasons of the division’s rebranding as Liverpool host Everton in the second derby clash in the space of a week.
The two clubs also met at Anfield in the Women’s Super League last Sunday, with the visitors winning 1-0 to end the Reds’ 100% start to the campaign, a result that the blue half of the divide would clearly love to see replicated by their men’s team on Saturday afternoon.
While the Reds stumbled slightly in their previous two league games, the Toffees had been enjoying a resurgence in form going into the international window, although they still sit 10 points and 12 places behind their neighbours in the league table.
Liverpool have the chance to go top for a few hours at least if they maintain their flawless home record thus far in 2023/24, while Everton would put the relegation zone beyond arm’s length if they emerge with a result.
Saturday’s derby begins another hectic period for the Reds, who face seven matches across three competitions in the space of 23 days, albeit with a five-day gap to their next assignment.
Ahead of today’s clash at Anfield, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, delve into their Premier League head-to-head record and explore the record of one man who has a decent track record at this weekend’s venue.
