Liverpool and Everton lock horns in the Merseyside derby for the second time in two months when the two long-standing rivals go head-to-head at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

James Tarkowski's staggering 98th-minute equaliser for Everton at Goodison Park in February bid the Grand Old Lady a fond derby farewell, but that result has done little in the grand scheme of things to knock Liverpool off course in their quest for the title.

Head-to-head:

• Liverpool have won 28 of the 65 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
• Everton have recorded 11 victories.
• The remaining 26 clashes ended in draws.
• Liverpool have won their last three Premier League home games against the Toffees.
• The Reds have lost just one of their last 24 Premier League home games against Everton.
• The Toffees are undefeated in their last five games.
• 5 of their last 10 encounter ended 2-0. 2 matches ended goalless, and 2 results finished 2-2.

Form:

• Liverpool in the League: W-D-W-W-W
• Liverpool in all competitions: W-W-W-L-L
• Everton in the League: W-D-D-D-D
• Everton in all competitions: W-D-D-D-D

Team News:

• Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, and three more players will be out of action for Liverpool as they are injured. Alisson Becker should be in action for the Reds.
• Everton will be without the services of Orel Mangala and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as they have injuries. Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil’s availability depends on their match fitness.

Player(s) to watch:

• Mohamed Salah is in flying form and has helped Liverpool out in securing many wins this season with the help of his goals and assists. The Egyptian winger has a total of 44 goal involvements in 29 Premier League games this season. Leading the attack from the right, Salah can be a big danger to the opponent’s defence.
• Beto will be leading the attacking front for the Toffees in the absence of Iliman Ndiaye. He has scored six goals for Everton this season in 21 league matches. He will be looking to step up and score some goals here. It is an important Merseyside Derby fixture where Everton will be under pressure.
