Everton v Liverpool: Key stats and talking points‎

The first Merseyside derby to be played at Hill Dickinson Stadium, this Sunday (14:00 BST), sees these old rivals closer to each other in the league table than many would have predicted at this stage of the season. Everton's recent record against Liverpool may be poor but on paper this appears to be an excellent chance to notch up a rare win over their cross-city rivals. The Toffees are full of confidence and lie just five points behind the Reds, who sit in a Champions League spot, as they look to secure European football for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign.
