Liverpool v Everton: match preview

Only a month ago Jürgen Klopp harboured hopes of retaining the title while Carlo Ancelotti had the games in hand to reach the top four. Both managers have had to lower their sights following a damaging run of three defeats in their past five Premier League games, although Liverpool’s morale will be improved by the Champions League win over RB Leipzig. Everton have an embarrassing record at Anfield, where they have not won for 22 years, while Klopp is unbeaten in 12 Merseyside derbies. Events at Goodison Park in October linger on. Andy Hunter
