Liverpool know the key to derby success

The Merseyside derby is upon this week but for Liverpool, they have to view it as just another game.

With Jurgen Klopp's side basically needing to win all their remaining five to have a chance of winning the Premier League, taking their eye off the prize now could be fatal, so the derby is simply another day at the office.

We all know Liverpool have the superior quality and if they can match Everton's desire and hunger to win the game then they should win.

I played on derbies and look, I let my heart rule my head at times and was found chasing the ball like a headless chicken, trying to get stuck and into battles with centre-halves, but that is the way it was.

What I would say though is Liverpool have to win their personal battles.

It's about being clinical.

Gravenberch must now kick on

I think with Ryan Gravenberch barely featuring for Bayern Munich for a season has had a delayed impact on his development at Liverpool.

Maybe he just needs to get settled into the Premier League a bit more with minutes because it is very different to the Bundesliga and while that might take a little bit more time, he has shown there is talent there.
