The Toffees wear their blue tops with white shorts and socks. The Reds are all in red. The Merseyside derby is under way.

1 minute: Everton 0-0 Liverpool

This is the 244th Merseyside derby.

Liverpool have won 97 of those matches while Everton have claimed victory on 67 occasions.

The Toffees last win was in February 2021. The Reds have won four of the five meetings since then.

Mohamed Salah has scored five times in his last five league games against Everton.

If the Egyptian forward scores two or more goals at Goodison Park, he will become the first player since Everton legend Dixie Dean, in 1932-33, to do so in both Merseyside derbies in a single league campaign.

Liverpool take an impressive away record with them to Goodison Park, having won seven of their last nine Premier League games on the road.

The only defeat in that time was a 3-1 loss at Arsenal, while the 2-2 draw at Manchester United was the other exception.

The Reds have bounced back from two defeats with two wins.

The 1-0 win in Atalanta was not enough to prevent the Reds from exiting the Europa League at the quarterfinal stage.

Everton have already scored as many goals, 34, in this campaign as they scored in all of last season.

Sean Dyche’s side have picked up six points in their last three matches, the same number they returned from their previous 13 games.

The Toffees have not won any of their eight matches against teams in the top five this with only two points claimed from those games.

Liverpool have lined up Feyenoord coach Arne Slot as successor to departing manager Juergen Klopp and have opened negotiations with the Eredivisie club, Dutch media reported on Wednesday.

The Algemeen Dagblad newspaper said Liverpool made contact with Feyenoord on Wednesday morning.

Slot was heavily linked with a possible move to Tottenham Hotspur last year, but opted to stay at Feyenoord and signed a contract extension with the Dutch side until 2026.

Reports added that Liverpool will have to pay an undisclosed sum to Feyenoord for Slot’s services.

He has been widely praised for his innovative, attacking football with Feyenoord, winning the league title in the 2022-23 season, as well as the KNVB Cup on Sunday.

Cool heads and fresh legs will hopefully help Liverpool win at Everton on Wednesday, but they will have to do it without Diogo Jota, who picked up an injury at Fulham, manager Jurgen Klopp said.

Liverpool left some key players out of their starting lineup for Sunday’s 3-1 win at Fulham, including Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister, ahead of the Merseyside derby.

“We had to do it,” Klopp told reporters on Tuesday. “We’ll see what we can do now for this game … hopefully again we will have a lot of fresh legs on the pitch.”
