Premier League leaders Liverpool welcome their city rivals Everton for the first Merseyside derby of the season on Saturday.
Arne Slot’s side will be brimming with confidence. They will be aiming to extend their perfect start to the season and continue their long-standing dominance in this famous fixture at Anfield. The Reds have already demonstrated their elite mentality this season.
They have created a new Premier League record by winning their first four games with a decisive goal scored in the final 10 minutes of each match. This “late show” habit highlights the team’s incredible resilience and fitness. It is a key weapon they will look to use against a stubborn Everton defence.
Arne Slot has a near full-strength squad to choose from, with midfielder Curtis Jones the only notable absentee. He is further boosted by the return of Alexis Mac Allister and Milos Kerkez to full training, providing key options in midfield and defence. The main selection dilemma comes in attack.
After an impressive debut against Atlético Madrid in midweek, record signing Alexander Isak is in contention to start. However, Hugo Ekitike could be recalled to lead the line. Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah will be aiming to close in on the all-time Premier League derby scoring record.
Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike
The Premier League fixture will be played at Anfield on Saturday, 20 September 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 pm BST.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting at 12:00 pm BST.
