Liverpool will look to re-establish their advantage at the top of the Premier League as they return to action with a Merseyside derby against Everton.

Arne Slot’s side have had plenty of time to stew on their Carabao Cup final loss as a trophy slipped out of their grasp at Wembley, with this their first outing since that mid-March defeat after an early exit from the FA Cup. It leaves their full focus on league success and though their significant lead over Arsenal was narrowed to nine points last night, Liverpool remain in a position of such strength with nine games to go in the campaign.

This could represent a stumbling block, though, with Everton sure to be ready for their rivals as they travel across the city. James Tarkowski snatched a dramatic late equaliser in the reverse fixture - the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park - and the club have enjoyed solid form since, though David Moyes will be keen to end a recent run of draws that have inhibited their climb up the table.

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

5 mins: Liverpool fans haven’t watched their team play in two and a half weeks. For a team that is often drowning in fixtures, that feels like an age.

No surprise Anfield is in full voice during the opening stages here.

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

2 mins: Liverpool have started with a lot of energy, a surprise to no-one.

Diaz gets it on the left and drives into the box before going to ground - the referee blows his whistle but it’s for the ball going out rather than to give a penalty.

A corner then gets whipped in, Konate connects but it loops over.

Frantic start.
