The Merseyside Derby, which is widely regarded as one of the premier league’s most significant games, is set to take place on Saturday. The two teams have a long-standing history of success in European competitions, with Liverpool having won in the past seasons.
This season, Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in impressive form, sitting fourth in the league, only three points behind the top team Tottenham. Everton, on the other hand, are just two points away from safety, having won their last three matches.
