Everton clash with Liverpool in Saturday’s Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. Can the home side finally get one over their bitter rivals in the Premier League?

Everton Form & News

Everton have been excellent in the Premier League so far, winning all four of their matches. Carlo Ancelotti’s charges have also tasted victory in each of their three League Cup ties, scoring 12 goals along the way.

The Toffees kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur, before smashing West Bromwich Albion 5-2 in their second league game. Another win away to Crystal Palace followed, before claiming a 4-2 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Everton top the Premier League table as well as the goalscoring charts alongside Leicester City and Spurs with 12 goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored six goals in the league.

Seamus Coleman, Andre Gomes and Richarlison will all face fitness tests ahead of this contest, though Allan is expected to miss out. Jonjoe Kenny, Mason Holgate and Jean-Phillip Gbamin are all ruled out.

Liverpool Form & News

Liverpool were humiliated in their last league match. The defending champions were destroyed 7-2 by Aston Villa at Villa Park. The result was by far the worst of boss Jurgen Klopp's tenure.

Before that embarrassing result, Liverpool had made a very good start to the season, winning their first three Premier League fixtures. A seven-goal thriller with Leeds United - which ended 4-3 in favour of Liverpool at Anfield, kicked off their campaign.

Then came big clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal, both of which Liverpool won - 2-0 and 3-1 respectively. Klopp will be demanding that his side step up their game for this clash on Merseyside.

Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara and Sadio Mane are all expected to be available for Liverpool this weekend after returning to training. However, Alisson (shoulder) is still unavailable so Adrian will continue in goal, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) is ruled out.
