Follow all of the action as Liverpool take on bitter rivals Everton tonight in a crucial Merseyside derby, exclusively live on talkSPORT.

The Reds remain in the Premier League title race alongside Arsenal and Manchester City but their fate is currently in the reigning champions’ hands. 

Jurgen Klopp’s men must win to keep their hopes alive but Sean Dyche will have the same mentality for his side.

Following a controversial win against Nottingham Forest, the Toffees have moved five points clear of the relegation zone and one more victory would surely secure their safety.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Diaz, Salah, Nunez.

Liverpool can't deal with the long ball into the box from the free-kick as Tarkowski as he rises above Van Dijk to cushion a header across goal.

10' - Brilliant defending from Godfrey!

It's equally outrageous from Alexander-Arnold who dinks an expertly timed pass over the top for Salah to bring down inside the area.

2' - The Reds are enjoying the lion's share of the early possession as Van Dijk sends a raking pass out to Nunez to control on his chest.
