Liverpool vs Everton: Toffees look to stop Merseyside rivals from going top in tasty Prem clash – stream, TV, team news
PREMIER LEAGUE football returns after the international break – and Liverpool face rivals Everton with a huge chance of climbing to the top of the table.
Lewis Dunk’s late strike forced the Reds to recently share the spoils with high-flying Brighton.
And as a result, Liverpool are now winless in their last two top-tier fixtures.

However, they come up against an Everton side who thrashed Bournemouth 3-0 before the break.
