Liverpool have won each of the last four Merseyside derbies played at Anfield, all without conceding, seeking five successive home victories over their neighbours for the first time since 1943.
Everton did win at Anfield in February 2021, but are winless in 27 visits when supporters have been present, dating back to 1999, when the late, great Kevin Campbell was the only scorer.
Liverpool vs Everton preview
Will Liverpool's perfect start to the campaign continue? It's so far been a season of late goals for Arne Slot's side, a trend that is showing no sign of slowing down. In their Champions League opener on Wednesday, the Reds appeared on course to demolish Atlético Madrid, 2-0 up inside six minutes, with Andy Robertson inadvertently breaking the deadlock, before Mohamed Salah scored a sublime second. However, Marcos Llorente scored in both first half injury time and then the 83rd minute to bring Atleti back on level terms. Nevertheless, this Liverpool team always find a way, pinching all three points in injury time, courtesy of Virgil van Dijk's towering header from a corner.
Last Sunday, the late late show for Liverpool was taken to to knew heights, snatching a 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, awarded a penalty deep into injury time, expertly converted by Salah. This means the Reds have scored a winning goal in the 83rd minute or later in all five matches this season, three of which have come in added on time, so is this the mark of champions, or will their luck run out soon? Well, Slot will be hoping for a more convincing victory in this derby.
As for Everton, are they well placed to spring a surprise come Saturday lunchtime? The Toffees are currently unbeaten in three Premier League games, enjoying victories over Brighton and Wolves, the latter a 3-2 thriller not often associated with a David Moyes side. Then, last weekend, the Blues were held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa at Hill Dickinson Stadium, frustrated to only collect a point, having been the better team throughout.
Having opened their brand-new home at Bramley-Moore Dock and generally been in excellent form since Moyes' return in January, Evertonians are optimistic about the future, although they'll surely be dreading this trip across Stanley Park. Richarlison is the last Everton player to score at Anfield with fans in attendance, this coming during a crushing 5-2 defeat back in December 2019, hoping to change that fact. Nevertheless, Liverpool are favourites to maintain their perfect start.

Having not even been on the bench at Turf Moor, it was a surprise that British transfer record signing Alexander Isak was thrown straight in from the start on Wednesday, taken off on the hour mark.
So, could the Swede start here too, or will Hugo Ekitiké return? Given the quick turnaround, it would be a surprise if Isak is ready to go again. Elsewhere, fit again Jeremie Frimpong got the nod at right-back against Atlético Madrid, but will Slot move Dominik Szoboszlai back into that position, thereby allowing Alexis Mac Allister to come back into midfield?
On the opposite side, scorer Andy Robertson came in at left-back for the Champions League tie, so will he keep that spot, or will Miloš Kerkez, who was hooked during the first half at Burnley, return?
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-3-3): Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konaté, van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Wirtz; Salah, Ekitiké, Gakpo.
Liverpool player to watch vs Everton
Mohamed Salah has previously netted eight times in 13 Merseyside derby appearances, including three in the last three at Anfield, so will he be the derby hero again?
Everton team news
David Moyes has had a full week to prepare for this fixture, unlike his opposite number, so could that give Evertonians a semblance of hope? They are though still without the injured Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko, limiting defensive options.
So, once again it'll be Jake O'Brien at right-back, but the other end of the pitch is where the excitement lies. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, last season's top-scorer Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish complete a frightening trio, in-behind Beto, who will continue to get the nod over Thierno Barry.
Everton predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-3-3): Pickford; O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Garner; Gana Gueye, Iroegbunam, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Ndiaye; Beto.

Jack Grealish's four assists in three appearances saw him named Premier League player of the month for August. He has previously netted four times against Liverpool, so could he write his name into Everton folklore at Anfield?
Liverpool vs Everton prediction
We cannot see any other result than a Liverpool victory from this derby, likely to be far too strong for Everton, hoping to win this one before the final few minutes on Saturday: Liverpool 2-0 Everton.
