Wirtz and Isak are lucky that Szoboszlai and Ekitike are performing well, it gives Slot justification to take the pressure off them by not having to play them every minute of every game.

Grealish hangs the cross up beautifully again on his left foot and you think that the defender is going to get across and block the shot from Barry but he doesn't. I think if he doesn't turn his back there he doesn't give away the free kick.

Jack Grealish has been excellent so far today and Dominik Szoboszlai stops him breaking forward with a cynical pull of the shirt.

I'm not really sure what Alisson was doing there. The ball was scuffed skywards and he waited an age to punch the ball away.
He was under pressure there and the referee eventually gives it as a foul on the Liverpool keeper.
Burnley v Nottingham Forest (15:00 BST)

Midfielder Florentino makes his full Burnley debut against Nottingham Forest.

I assume we’re all expecting an Everton equaliser followed by a late Liverpool winner here.

Here he comes. Alexander Isak makes his top-flight debut for Liverpool, replacing Hugo Ekitike.

Liverpool whip in a corner, but Darren England is quick to blow his whistle in Everton's favour after a few bodies fall to the floor after some pushing and shoving.

Arne Slot is looking animated on the touchline. He's clearly not happy with what he's seeing from his team.

Since the second Liverpool goal, Everton have played themselves into the game. They've had a good start to this second half and I think that's a deserved goal.
Wolves v Leeds (15:00 BST)
Vitor Pereira makes four changes to the Wolves team that started last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle.

Here come some Liverpool changes.
Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones are on for Cody Gakpo and Alexis Mac Allister.

It's a brilliant finish from Idrissa Gana Gueye.
Nobody was picking up Gueye and Liverpool will be so annoyed at that.
Everton fans feel like they are back in the game.

Now Everton just need to make sure they don't get the equaliser too early.

What a beautiful goal. We've been treated to three classics. Didn't Grealish do well on the left hand side? He puts a brilliant ball across, it's well laid back by Ndiaye and then the finish from Gueye. I don't think any keeper is getting anywhere near that.

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 28 home games against Everton in all competitions (W17 D10), winning each of their last four in a row since a 0-2 defeat in February 2021. Only from February 1933 to January 1937 have the Reds ever won five straight home matches against the Toffees.
Everton have won just two of their last 29 Premier League Merseyside derbies against Liverpool (D14 L13) and have failed to score in five of their last seven.
Everton vs Liverpool has seen more red cards than any other fixture in Premier League history (25), with 11 of those being for David Moyes’ Everton side in 24 games across his two spells, the most any team have had red cards under one manager in a Premier League fixture. In 15 league games against Liverpool not as Everton boss, his teams have only had one red card (Nemanja Vidic for Man Utd in March 2014).
With four wins from their opening four league games this season, Liverpool could win each of their first five matches of a Premier League campaign for the third time, after 2018-19 and 2019-20, while they could record three successive clean sheets for the first time since September 2024.
Everton have won six of their last 11 away Premier League matches (D2 L3), as many as they’d won in their previous 30 combined (W6 D10 L14). All six wins have been in 2025, last winning seven in one year back in 2021, which included a 2-0 win at Anfield.
Seven of Liverpool's nine Premier League goals this season have come in the second half of games, with five of those seven coming in the final 10 minutes. Indeed, since the start of last season, the Reds have more goals in the final 10 minutes of games than any other side (19).
Liverpool have scored 47 goals in 21 home Premier League games under Arne Slot; should they score three in this game it would be the fifth-quickest any manager has seen 50 goals scored at home, and quickest since Antonio Conte (18 games in 2016-17).
Everton manager David Moyes has never won a Premier League match at Anfield in 20 attempts (D6 L14) – the joint most any manager has managed at one stadium without winning, along with Moyes at Stamford Bridge (D7 L13). He’s lost each of his last nine at Anfield (one with Man Utd, one with Sunderland, six with West Ham, one with Everton).
Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals against Everton for Liverpool in the Premier League, only Steven Gerrard (9) has more Merseyside derby goals in the competition’s history. This season, however, is his lowest return per 90 for the Reds in terms of shots (1.3), shots on target (0.8), expected goals (0.3) and touches in the opposition’s box (6.3).
Only three players have completed more take-ons in the Premier League this season than Everton duo Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye (both 8). Indeed, only Bruno Fernandes (10) has created more chances from open play than Grealish (9), while only Bruno Guimarães (6) has won possession in the final third more often than Ndiaye (5).
