Premier League leader Liverpool cannot stop winning and enters Saturday's Merseyside derby in imperious form. The Reds have won five out of five across all competitions so far this season and host nemesis Everton, having once again come up with the goods in dramatic fashion against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Arne Slot's side needed just six minutes to go two goals ahead in their Champions League opener, only for Atletico to hold on and draw level against the odds. But captain Virgil van Dijk had the last laugh as he headed home an injury-time equalizer to ensure Liverpool's perfect campaign endured.

Everton can't boast the same steadfast season to date, though the Toffees have gone undefeated since suffering defeat at Leeds on the opening day. David Moyes' men can afford to feel content as they sit seventh in the standings thus far, not to mention they've lost just one of the last three Merseyside derbies held.

More concerning is the fact that it was the most recent edition of the city's biggest fixture, held back in April, when the late Diogo Jota scored the game's only goal. And Liverpool will hope to carry on the forward's fine work as a season played in his honor continues to bear fruit.
