Editor's note: Everton vs. Liverpool was postponed on Saturday due to concerns over adverse weather conditions.
Liverpool head to Goodison Park for the final time on Saturday as Everton host their last Merseyside derby before moving to their brand new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
Everton head into the 254th Merseyside derby seeing back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April having ended a five-game winless run with a 4-0 rout against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday. Sean Dyche's side sit five points clear of the relegation zone, looking for a derby win to kick-off a succession of tricky matches to follow. Everton will face three more of the 'big six' following the clash with their local rivals.
Liverpool, who are seven points clear at the top of the table, will be looking to return to winning ways following a 3-3 draw at Newcastle on Wednesday. Saturday's clash will be the first Merseyside derby for Arne Slot who has had a stellar start as Liverpool manager recording 11 wins, two draws and one loss in the Premier League.
When the two teams met at Goodison Park last season, Everton secured a shock victory by overcoming Jürgen Klopp's side 2-0 to put an end to Liverpool's 12-game unbeaten streak at the Toffee's ground.
