The Premier League makes its return this weekend as both Liverpool and Everton look to continue their impressive starts to the season in the first Merseyside derby.
Liverpool’s perfect record has been a testament to their resilience and will to win, with Arne Slot seeing his side play out a series of tense, late victories.
A return to Anfield could see the Reds extend their winning run, but they will come up against an Everton outfit that is full of confidence under the guidance of David Moyes.
The Toffees manager has transformed the side, with Everton’s last victory against their city rivals coming in April last year.
With a new-look squad that includes the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish, there is uncertainty on whether the Toffees will look to frustrate their rivals or go on the offensive.
Either way, it will be a test for both Liverpool and Everton in their return to Premier League action, so here’s a look at everything you need to know ahead of the tie.

Liverpool vs Everton prediction
It’s tough to predict exactly how Liverpool’s meeting with Everton will play out.
If the Toffees play the way they have so far this season, it could be a tight contest, with their new signings providing some real attacking threat.
However, Liverpool should back themselves to get another win at home, even if they have to leave it late.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Everton.
