Everton vs Liverpool lineups: Calvert-Lewin and Salah lead the lines

The second instalment of the Merseyside derby will take place tonight.

Everton are preparing to welcome bitter rivals Liverpool to Goodison Park for the 295th encounter between the two cross-town enemies.

The form book doesn’t favour the home team but given what’s at stake, fans will be expecting Sean Dyche’s men to be right up for the occasion.

Not only are the Toffees solid relegation contenders following a six-point deduction for failure to comply with financial rules but Liverpool are strong challengers for the title. Damaging their rivals’ title hopes while boosting their chances of survival will be a great incentive for the Toffees to turn up when the two sides meet later this evening.

As for Liverpool, tonight’s matchup will be Jurgen Klopp’s last Merseyside derby after the German announced he will be leaving the Reds at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, desperate to keep the pressure on leaders Arsenal, Klopp’s side will be determined to take all three points and draw level with the Gunners at the top of the table ahead of third-place Manchester City’s matchup against Brighton and Hove Albion tomorrow.
