Liverpool will be taking on Everton in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield on Wednesday, aiming to strengthen their grip on the top spot and move closer to securing the Premier League title. Before the international break, Liverpool endured a rough patch, suffering elimination from the UEFA Champions League and falling to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final.
Their next challenge is against Everton, the team that initially triggered this inconsistent spell. Determined to regain momentum and end the season on a high note, Arne Slot's team currently leads the league standings and will be desperate to win the championship. Earlier this season, Everton held Liverpool to a humiliating draw.
