Jurgen Klopp’s high-flying Liverpool side will lock horns with city rivals Everton on Wednesday at Goodison Park in the high-billed derby.
The Reds last faced Southampton in league action at Anfield with Jordan Henderson and Co. shipping four goals past the visiting side to claim a third win on the trot.
Everton’s hapless form heading into the upcoming contest makes them the underdogs with Liverpool putting out a terrific run of showings of late ensuring the favourites tag for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Liverpool moved to within two points of the table-toppers Chelsea who drew 1-1 against Manchester United and ahead of the crunch Christmas fixure list, the Reds will hope to maintain their winning ways when taking on Everton.
