Everton v Liverpool: Premier League – Live! | Football

27 min: This is some good high-paced fun, with both teams betting forward at every opportunity, Liverpool working wide, Everton looking to go a little longer and jump the visitor line. This surely won’t end 1-1.

25 min: Henderson tips the dead ball to the right. Alexander-Arnold curves powerfully to the upper left. Pickford, in its entirety, turns a corner that leads nowhere. That was a very decent effort from Alexander-Arnold, and an excellent save from Pickford.

23 min: Thiago throws a ball down the left inner channel for Mane, who receives a high boot from Gomes. There was actually no contact, but it was a dangerous play, and it’s a free kick for Liverpool, just to the left of center, 25 yards away. Gomes is outraged and almost convinces himself in the book. Just a tick-tock.

21 min: Salah tries to strike back at Liverpool using Keane as cover, hoping to get back home from the right corner of the D. But the shot is a terrible drag, straight to Pickford, who claims without issue.

Keane rises above Fabinho and Firmino and lands a header into the net! It wasn’t quite in the upper right corner, and straight at Adrian, but the power was such that you can’t really blame the keeper for not flipping him over the bar. Although no doubt some will. Everton is level!

18 min: Rodríguez picks up a fumble in the middle. He’s got Richarlison on acres down the left inner channel, and he should clear him, but he cooks the pass too much. Never mind, Everton come back, Calvert-Lewin rushes down the right and finishes off a shot from a tight angle that Adrian is forced to knock over his post. And from the resulting corner …

17 min: Go long through the middle of Digne. Calvert-Lewin gently lowers him, drops an in-edge shoulder past Gomez, and sends a weak shot straight to Adrian. An easy meeting to build confidence for Liverpool’s substitute goalkeeper under pressure.

13 min: Head chances at both ends. First, Digne attacks from the left for Calvert-Lewin, who can’t keep up; then Robertson throws one for Firmino, who is also heading. It has been an entertaining and lively start, with Liverpool very confident.

11 min: Yes, Gomez is coming, he’s been worryingly out of shape lately. Liverpool expect Van Dijk’s withdrawal to be more precautionary than serious. Pickford unnecessarily and aggressively wrapped both legs around his supporting leg, and I’m not sure why Pickford was at least not booked or sent off.

10 minutes: Van Dijk cannot continue. He’s walking back to the temporary cabin in the parking lot. Gomez will come in his place.

6 min: From the corner, a ball swings from the left. Van Dijk tries to reach him at the far post. Pickford dodges it, an absurd challenge, and Van Dijk falls, clutching his knee. It would have been a penalty if the flag had not been raised for offside.

5 minutes: Liverpool is rampant. Robertson slides Mane into space on the left. Mane crosses to the nearby post. Henderson heads from six yards, but not particularly well. Digne is able to raise an eyebrow in a corner. If Henderson got behind that, it was a goal.

Liverpool throws the ball from right to left. Robertson makes his way through Coleman, drops a shoulder, and scoots inside for Mane, who fires an unstoppable shot to the top left. Pickford had no chance. What a wonderful sweeping motion. What a start for the champions!

2 minutes: Fabinho shoves the ball into the center circle and throws an immediate pass through the middle. Salah is unable to bring the ball with him, allowing Keane to intervene.

35 seconds: The first big collision of the afternoon while Van Dijk held his ground, on the Rodriguez road. A disgusting orchard variety, but felt by the brilliant Colombian.

And we go! Liverpool get the ball rolling, but only after all the players kneel. There is no place for racism. Black lives matter. The visitors are kicking towards the end of Gwladys Street in the first half.

The teams are out! Everton is playing in … ach, you know the score here. What we’d give for Goodison to be bouncing now … but you know all that too. However, this promises to be a fitting match, hopefully the end of that sequence of three goalless draws in Goodison’s derbies. Everton exit the tunnel, while Liverpool enter the field from the temporary hut in the car park. “Do you want to know the simple truth?” Philip Ritson asks. “Ancelotti has the measure of Klopp and Everton are in better shape than Liverpool. This Liverpool fan is scared! Very scared!”

This is manager of the month Carlo Ancelotti! “We are sure that we are going to play against the best team in the Premier League … we honestly did not expect what happened in their last game … it is an honor for us to play against them … it is a derby, an important match , and I hope a good game from us … it’s a good test … it’s exciting, the only thing we miss is the crowd, but we have to respect the code and the protocols … I hope to give joy to our fans from home … we started well, but we want to continue ”. Midway through the interview he was sprayed from below by a rogue sprinkler and reacted to a brief hint of awkwardness with grace, humor, and charm, without missing a beat. One of the smoothest operators in the game. Two genuinely nice managers facing each other this afternoon.

BT Sport’s Des Kelly asks Jurgen Klopp if this is the worst game to have after a bad loss. “Their the game, the only one we have … it’s good, whatever situation you find yourself in, it’s the most special game of the season … on the other hand I wouldn’t have any problem if Everton were in a bad place lost the last 12 games in a row! … but it’s exactly how it should be, they’re ready, we’re ready, it must be a good game … all the changes are significant, that’s why we make them … the lineup is the lineup – up because we think it’s the right one for this game … we did a lot of bad things against Villa, but the art is to keep the good things, because they were there, even if nobody remembers them! ”.

While it has been ten years since Everton’s last win against Liverpool, today’s date also has a deeper meaning. Five years have passed since the passing of a true Goodison legend, the great Howard Kendall, who won the title with his beloved Blues as a player and manager.

Some pre-game reading. Andy Hunter, our man in Merseyside, assesses the confident new Everton ahead of today’s potential season modifier.

Everton make two changes from the side that saw Brighton 4-2 a fortnight ago. Allan and Andre Gomes take the place of Tom Davies and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Liverpool give Thiago his first Premier League start. He is one of four changes to the team with a 7-2 slap by Aston Villa. Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane also enter. They take the places of Joe Gómez, Georginio Wijnaldum, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.

Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Doucoure, Allan, Andre Gomes, Rodríguez, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.
Subs: Delph, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Bernard, Godfrey, Davies, Olsen.

Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Mane.
Subs: Wijnaldum, Milner, Gomez, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Kelleher.

Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland).

It’s the 10th anniversary of a more palatable Merseyside derby for Liverpool. “That was as good as we’ve played all season, and I have no qualms about acting,” smiled Roy Hodgson. The future looked bright for the Roy’s Reds! If you didn’t pay much attention to league position: 19 out of 20. Oh Roy.

It was also a good day for Everton, who won the game 2-0 at a canter. Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta scored the goals as chants of “Going down, going down, going down” sounded around Goodison Park. However, times change, and that’s the last time Everton beat Liverpool in any competition. Since then, it has been 11 wins and 11 draws for the Reds against their biggest rivals in all competitions, and they are now champions of England.

BUT! Everton come into this match with a 100 per cent record this season, while Liverpool come from behind that 7-2 humiliation. If Carlo Ancelotti’s impressive team wins this lunch, it won’t just quench their thirst for derby; They will also start the season with five consecutive victories for the first time since 1938-39, which season they finished as champions. Dominic Calvert-Lewin: the Tommy Lawton of our days.

Liverpool, on the other hand, may feel they have a statement to make after their beating at Villa Park. So this is perfectly configured. A cookie awaits, even if this particular Goodison accessory has a habit of ending up in a boring giveaway. Surely not this time. Here’s a classic that everyone in Merseyside deserves right now, due to The Man currently cheating on them. Its on!

Kick off: 12.30 pm BST.
