The first Merseyside Derby in the Hill Dickinson Stadium is coming up, and if you’re not going to the game, here is where to watch the much-anticipated game.
This season’s second game is all set up for a massive one due to Liverpool’s slump in form and Everton’s rise up the table under David Moyes.
The Toffees are on course to qualify for Europe for the first time since 2017, whilst Liverpool are faltering, which could lead to Everton finishing above the defending Champions.
That would require a big win at home for Everton in the derby, which would be revenge for the 2-1 loss at Anfield earlier in the season.
It has also become an even bigger game due to the news that Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah will be leaving the club at the end of the season, so this will be his last Merseyside Derby, setting the game up nicely.
So take a look at the Explore Liverpool list for places to watch the nerve-jangling action unfold.
