Everton will make the short trip across Stanley Park this Monday to face their fierce city rivals Liverpool in the 62nd Premier League edition of the Merseyside Derby.
The hosts have been the dominant side in this historic fixture, with 26 wins in the last 61 PL meetings. But they come into this fixture in terrible form, having failed to win a league game in 2023 (D1, L3).
They were last beaten 3-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderers–a result that extended their wait for a league goal to three consecutive games.

But they will return to Anfield, where they are unbeaten in six competitive games (W3, D3), hoping their home crowd will cheer them on.
Although Everton are currently locked in the relegation zone, they will come into this fixture in a good mood, having recorded their first win since October in their last outing.
The Toffees beat Arsenal 1-0 at Goodison Park last weekend in what was their first game under new manager Sean Dyche. The win ended a run of ten games without a win for Everton (D2, L8), moving them closer to surfacing above the bottom three.
Dyche has brought excitement to the blue half of Merseyside and will surely receive backing from the fans in this game. He will hope to repeat that winning feat at Anfield, where his side have won only once since the turn of the millennium (D10, L14).
