Everton will welcome Liverpool to Goodison Park this evening with the pressure beginning to mount on the recently appointed manager Rafa Benitez.

The Toffees have taken just one point from their last five Premier League games after their 1-0 defeat to Brentford at the weekend, with four defeats and 11 goals conceded during that timeframe. 

As a result, Benitez will be looking to turn his side's fortunes around as his former club, who he lead to Champions League glory in 2005, are in blistering form going into tonight's match.

Liverpool go into the Merseyside Derby on the back of three-straight victories and clean sheets in all competitions and are just two points behind Chelsea at the top of the table. 

Manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to see a reaction from his players as Everton got their better over his side during a 2-0 defeat at Anfield the last time the two clubs faced each other last season.

As the old saying goes, the form book goes out of the window in derby matches and the same is likely to apply here.
