The first Merseyside Derby of the Premier League season takes place at Goodison, with Everton hosting arch-rivals Liverpool in the early kick-off.

Liverpool have taken eight points from a possible 15 this term, meaning they find themselves seven points shy of first-place Arsenal and five points behind Manchester City.

As for Everton, they have only managed to take three points from their opening five games. Consequently, they sit five points behind Liverpool.

The Toffees have yet to claim a Premier League win this season, kicking off the campaign with back-to-back defeats before recording three straight draws.

After losing to Chelsea and Aston Villa, Frank Lampard’s side notched 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest. Brentford and Leeds United.

When you look at the bigger picture, Everton have only managed to win one of their previous nine Premier League outings.

Following something of a shaky start to the season, Liverpool head into Saturday’s showdown on the back of two straight wins.

After thrashing Bournemouth 9-0 on Matchday 4, the Reds came from behind to beat Newcastle United last time out.

Only Man City (19) have scored more Premier League goals than Liverpool (15) this season, with Roberto Firmino (3) and Luis Diaz (3) leading Mohamed Salah (2).
