Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield for the 247th Merseyside derby, with the Reds flying high after a perfect start to their Premier League title defence.
Arne Slot’s side have built a reputation for late drama, with stoppage-time strikes rescuing them in both league and Europe, most recently Virgil van Dijk’s winner against Atletico Madrid. Top of the table with 12 points and four straight derby wins since 2021, Liverpool look primed to extend their dominance, having lost just once in their last 28 home clashes with Everton.
Everton head to Anfield unbeaten in three league games and boasting four clean sheets in five, but their derby record tells a different story. With just two wins in their last 29 against Liverpool and Moyes winless in 20 visits to Anfield, history is against them. Still, six away league wins in 2025, including one here four years ago, give the Toffees some hope if they can sharpen their finishing.

Liverpool vs. Everton lineups, team news
Slot's main call focuses on what to do with Alexander Isak after the Premier League record transfer made his Liverpool debut against Atletico Madrid.
The Dutch coach has confirmed he is not ready for 90 minutes against Everton, but after claiming he could only manage 45 against Diego Simeone's team, the Swede was not replaced until just before the hour.
Hugo Ekitike looks set to rotate back in, as Slot aims to protect Isak and allow his No. 9 to build up match fitness with a role off the bench.
Full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Andy Robertson were both replaced against Los Rojiblancos, but the Scot should remain in place due to his derby experience. Conor Bradley will come in for Frimpong if the Netherlands international is moved to the bench.
Liverpool predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK) — Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo — Ekitike
Injured: Jones (muscle)
Suspended: None
Moyes is still without key centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite due to a thigh injury, with James Tarkowski and Michael Keane set to continue at the heart of Everton's defence.
Vitalii Mykolenko missed out on last weekend's 0-0 draw with Aston Villa after sustaining an injury on international duty with Ukraine, but Moyes is confident he can rotate back in.
Everton predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford (GK) — O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko — Iroegbunam, Gueye — Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish — Beto
Injured: Branthwaite (thigh), Mykolenko (muscle, doubt)
Suspended: None
