Liverpool host Everton in the second Merseyside derby of the season on Wednesday night looking to move closer to securing a second ever Premier League title.

Recent form

Liverpool went into the international break having suffered back-to-back defeats, first against PSG in the Champions League before losing to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Their form prior to that was strong, however, having won the previous four games.

Everton have drawn their last four games but have lost just one of the last ten in all competitions. They have won just one of the last six, however.

What’s been said?

Liverpool boss Arne Slot: “The first three (breaks) were after one or two months’ work, this one was after four months of non-stop work so I like this one the most for the simple reason it was four months in a row.

“It was my first experience of playing in the winter so this one I liked the most, I needed the most as well.

“The mental break (for the players) comes more from going to a different environment with different team-mates.

“For that reason it was maybe a good moment after you lose two games. If you stay at your club you have to win your next game, but if you go to your national team things are new again.”

Everton manager David Moyes: “We might be further away from Liverpool than we’ve ever been at the moment.

“I think by the time we [Moyes and his staff] left here 12 years ago, I think we were much closer to Liverpool. We were competing in the same areas of the league at the time. I think at the moment it’s probably the biggest gulf between the two clubs.”
