Mouthwatering Merseyside match-up

Former Chelsea and Scotland winger Pat Nevin speaking to BBC Sport: "The Merseyside derby always provides one of the great atmospheres in world football, no matter how both teams are playing at the time.

"Liverpool were cruising along nicely until an outrageously unfair defeat by Spurs, with the VAR error and two players red carded to boot. They then dropped two points against Brighton, which I watched in a Liverpool pub with a bunch of very excitable Reds, before speaking at Liverpool University about my latest book. Some of us have very strange lives.

"Liverpool’s luck didn’t improve when Andy Robertson staggered off in Seville with a dislocated shoulder, the last thing they needed.

"Even though Everton are at the other end of the league table, they had a hugely heartening 3-0 win against Bournemouth last week. The Toffees are still huge underdogs, especially at Anfield, but I played in enough of those derbies to know that though form may not go fully out of the window, it is sitting precariously on the edge of the sill ready to disappear with the slightest nudge.

"The entire city will be buzzing and if you are a true football fan there isn’t a better place to be than in that stadium this Saturday."
