Liverpool and Everton are set to clash in the final Merseyside derby of the season on Sunday at 2pm.Arne Slot’s side head into the game having won just one of their last four league matches and are only five points above the Toffees.It is expected to be one of the most tightly contested derbies for some time, given how both teams are faring this season. But victory for Liverpool would see them make history.To date, the Reds have won at 59 of the 61 grounds they have played at during the Premier League era, and a victory at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium would see them become the first team to win at 60 different stadiums in the Premier League.

You can’t really call Liverpool the favourites here. The way Liverpool are playing, you would be shocked if they beat Everton this weekend.“Liverpool still have good players and I won’t be surprised if they win this game.
