Everton host Liverpool on Wednesday night in the final Merseyside derby to be held at Goodison Park. The two rivals were initially set to clash back in December but saw that game postponed at late notice due to Storm Darragh hitting the UK. Now, the Toffees have been rejuvenated under the stewardship of returning manager David Moyes and are looking to record what would be a statement win over their neighbours on what promises to be an emotional evening.

It will be fascinating to see how the Premier League leaders respond after being stunned by Championship strugglers Plymouth in the FA Cup on Sunday. The Reds have reacted well to the few setbacks they’ve encountered in Arne Slot’s first season in charge but a game at Goodison under the lights is a potential banana skin despite the serene nature of their campaign thus far. Always a game to look out for when the fixture dates are released, Everton’s imminent stadium move only adds to the narrative, as does the chance for Liverpool to move nine points clear of Arsenal in the title race as they finally contest their game in hand.

We’ll be hearing a full update from David Moyes a little later on today, but Everton still have quite an extensive absentee list ahead of Liverpool’s short trip across Stanley Park. They have lost Lyon loanee Orel Mangala for the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin also sidelined with a hamstring issue. Everton are also currently without the likes of Dwight McNeil, Armando Broja, Seamus Coleman and Youssef Chermiti, though full-back Vitalii Mykolenko is now back in training after missing the FA Cup defeat by Bournemouth as a precaution.
TV channel: In the UK, tomorrow night’s game is being shown live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage beginning at 6:30pm GMT. Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website. Hello and welcome to Standard Sport’s live coverage of Everton vs Liverpool in the Premier League. We are gearing up to the final-ever Merseyside derby clash to be held at Goodison Park before the Toffees officially move into their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock in the summer.
This fixture was originally supposed to have taken place on December 7, only to be postponed on the day of the game due to the effects of Storm Darragh hitting the UK. Now Liverpool will hope to bounce back from their FA Cup upset at Plymouth that took the shine off that emphatic Carabao Cup semi-final revenge mission against Tottenham by winning their game in hand and moving nine points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal in the title race.
But Arne Slot’s men could face a stern test against an Everton side who, prior to their own FA Cup fifth round exit at home to high-flying Bournemouth, had been resurgent under returning boss David Moyes, with a succession of eye-catching victories moving them nine points clear of the relegation zone. With the game coming up at 7:30pm on Wednesday night, stay tuned for all your match build-up including team news and much more!.
