It's the Merseyside derby in the Premier League this weekend as Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield. Arne Slot's side will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the campaign, although the Toffees will be keen to build on their recent run. Nathan Joyes takes a closer look.
Liverpool have won all four Premier League matches to date as they look to defend their crown. Several new faces have been added to the team that ran away with the title last campaign, only strengthening what was already a strong squad.
They've not made it easy for themselves - which was highlighted when they needed a last gasp Mohammed Salah penalty to beat Burnley at Turf Moor. But a positive is that Slot's side don't give up - and their mentality is helping them to get over the line.
The champions have no fresh injury concerns to worry about, and all eyes will be on Alexander Isak who's in line to make his Premier League debut.
David Moyes has done a stellar job in his first few games of the season. Having lost the first match on the road against Leeds, Everton have remained unbeaten in their next four, including wins against Brighton and Wolves.
The signing of Jack Grealish - who recently won Premier League player of the month for the first time - has found his spark at his new home. He could cause Liverpool plenty of issues.
Everton also don't have any new injury concerns, with just Jarrad Branthwaite as their long term absence from the first team.
Liverpool have won three of the last five head-to-heads involving Everton, as well as winning the last four meetings at Anfield to nil.
You have to go back to 2021 the last time Everton left Anfield with all three points - and before that it was 1995. It hasn't been an easy place for them to pick up points.
With Liverpool able to pick off anyone that crosses them, they are the worthy favourites at 9/20 with Betway to pick up all three points this weekend. However, once again, it might not be so easy. Nathan Joyes takes a look at the Premier League betting odds.
The Merseyside derby - especially at Anfield - is always a close contest.
The hosts may have won the last four, but a noticeable trend has been the lack of goals. In fact, under 2.5 match goals has landed in the last five head-to-heads at Anfield.
Factoring in that Liverpool meet Atletico Madrid four days prior might result in one or two changes - or even some tired legs. Liverpool may not be able to squeeze out that extra 10% that has seen them win games late.
And Everton have improved under Moyes. He won't be naive enough to know he can't allow his team to try and match Liverpool's intensity - and instead look to use players such as Grealish on the break.
But chances may be few and far between for the visitors. Liverpool's overall quality is shining through in games at the moment, and their relentless nature is helping them come out on top.
This could be the closest Everton (11/2 with Betano) have come in recent years to a famous win at Anfield, but the hosts new-look attack can seal the deal with a professional performance.
