JAKARTA Liverpool and Everton will meet in the Premier League for the 2023/2024 season. The Merseyside derby is the chance for the Reds to climb the top of the standings.
The two camps marked the end of the international break at Liverpool's headquarters at Anfield Stadium, Saturday, October 21, at 18.30 WIB. The position of both teams in the standings is currently in stark contrast.
Jurgen Klopp's men are in fourth place with a collection of 17 points from eight matches. They are 12 rankings better and 10 points ahead of The Toffees.
However, in the last two matches Liverpool have only got one point. After the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, they were held to a draw by Brighton before the international break.
The draw was due to Liverpool which was not very good in terms of set pieces. As a result, Lewis Dunk grabbed Solly March's free kick to thwart Liverpool from returning to winning ways.
However, Virgil van Dijk cs has a big chance of going up to the top of the standings if they win over The Toffees. The reason is, they have a superior goal difference over Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
The Reds returned to headquarters after scoring goals in their last 21 matches. However, the top position is only temporary for them if Spurs and Arsenal play after they also win.
Despite getting unsatisfactory results in the last two games, Liverpool are pretty okay at home. They are recorded as unbeaten at their headquarters in this year's Premier League.
A total of 293 Merseyside derbys have been played between these two sworn enemies. However, Everton last returned home with a win from Anfield in February 2021.
At that time The Toffees won 2-0 when the match was held without spectators due to the pandemic. However, after the pandemic the Reds have won their last two home games with the same score, 2-0.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Jota
