Jürgen Klopp will take charge of his final Merseyside derby on Wednesday night and the stakes couldn't be higher for Liverpool and Everton.

Everton meanwhile sits 16th and is not yet assured of its Premier League status for next season.

Klopp has lost just one of his 18 derbies as Liverpool manager — a 2-0 defeat at Anfield in 2021, with the match played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.



But he has won just two of seven visits to Goodison Park.

The German has relished the rivalry, having faced off against eight Everton managers during his time on Merseyside.

But Klopp says he will not necessarily miss derby day, such is the pressure on his team.

He said ahead of the match: "The pressure is higher so why should the joy be higher?

But that's something I definitely will not miss."

Klopp admits he won't even be able to enjoy the match as a neutral when he leaves Liverpool this summer.

I know so many people where the game means everything to them."

Liverpool.com says: Liverpool will be desperate to claim bragging rights in Klopp's last ever derby but the title race is more important, and three points are a must.
