What channel is Liverpool vs Everton? Merseyside derby TV details, time and live stream

The first Merseyside Derby of the season is approaching as Premier League leaders Liverpool take on an Everton side experiencing a resurgence. The Reds are currently the only team in the Premier League with a perfect record, having won all four of their games. Their most recent victory, a 1-0 win over Burnley, was secured in the final moments thanks to a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah.

Arne Slot's squad has developed a knack for clinching victories at the last minute, a trend that continued on Wednesday night when Virgil van Dijk scored a 92nd-minute header to secure a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Whether this habit of late victories can be sustained is yet to be seen, but many believe they will need to step up their game in the Premier League to outperform their local rivals. David Moyes' team, inspired by the influential Jack Grealish, have managed two wins and a draw this season, following an opening weekend loss to Leeds United. The Blues currently sit sixth in the table.

However, the odds seem to favour Liverpool, who have lost just one of their last 28 home games against the Toffees. Despite never having won a Premier League match at Anfield in his 20 attempts, Moyes will undoubtedly be looking to exploit any defensive weaknesses in Slot's team come Saturday lunchtime.

Team news

Slot has little concerns ahead of the clash with Everton. Curtis Jones missed the tie against Atletico but could be back in contention.

Alexander Isak played his first Liverpool minutes in midweek, but is thought not to be ready for a full 90 minutes after missing much of pre-season. Alexis Mac Allister also looks set to be fit after making a return to the squad against the La Liga side on Wednesday.

However, Dominik Szoboszlai's good form this season could see him line-up in the double pivot alongside Ryan Gravenberch at the expense of Mac Allister.

Moyes is set to be without Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitalii Mykolenko. Yet the Everton boss will have a choice to make up top with Beto and new signing Thierno Barry vying for a start. Tyler Dibling could also feature after moving from Southampton in August, with the youngster yet to make his Premier League debut for the Toffees.
