Sam Allardyce: "I haven't had the time to go the lengths and depths I've gone to with the other teams I've had. And of course I've got a completely different set of players here. It will all be about those players taking on board the information that we give them without taking away their responsibility to make the right decisions at the right times."

Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 17 top-flight meetings at Anfield. The Reds have won nine and drawn eight. Everton's last victory was in September 1999 when Kevin Campbell scored the only goal of the game in the fourth minute.

More from Klopp: "There are a lot of English players on the pitch today so they know about the importance of the derby, for sure."

Jurgen Klopp: "There's no doubt about the quality of Everton, they were just on a negative run. No results, no confidence. If Everton aren't a top six team, they are a top seven team usually. I've watched their last four games and they are in a good moment, gaining confidence."

Plenty of focus on Liverpool's team on social media and amongst the media, but for Everton it's just the one change from their 2-0 victory Huddersfield. Oumar Niasse replaces Aaron Lennon.
