JAKARTA - Liverpool will host Everton in the Merseyside derby match in the 2023/2024 Premier League continued. This match will take place at Anfield Stadium, Saturday at 18.30 WIB.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, doesn't want to see his team this time from city rivals. He felt that one defeat was too much.

Since handling Liverpool on October 8, 2015, Klopp did have a flashy record when leading his team against Everton. Of the 17 matches, he won 10 matches against Everton and only lost once to his city rivals.

"One is too much (loss at the Merseyside derby)," Klopp said as quoted by the club's official website via Antara.

However, even though he is confident because he has a good record against The Toffees, Klopp doesn't want to be too happy because according to him derby matches are always difficult to live.

And moreover, Sean Dyche's team won a convincing victory in the last match with a score of 3-0 from AFC Bournemouth.

"Let's see the facts and the fact is Everton is in a good moment," said the German.

In the match later, the Reds without Curtis Jones being strengthened because of the red card he got against Tottenham Hotspur and without Andrew Robertson who suffered an injury while defending his country Scotland.

The Anfield Gank is also still not reinforced by Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak who were sidelined due to injury.

"You need options, that's clear, and Kostas Tsimikas (to replace Robertson) is definitely the most experienced in that position, so that's good," Klopp said.

The good news is that Diogo Jota, who was previously absent due to the accumulation of two yellow cards in the match, is already available. Also, it is Cody Gakpo, who was absent due to injury, has returned to training and has the potential to return to play in the Derbi Merseyside match tonight.
