Everton host Liverpool in the Merseyside derby looking to snap a 22-game, 10-year winless streak against their local rivals.

They enter the game in fine form, too, four wins from four games and top of the Premier League with their rivals, as defending champions, three points off the pace having been humbled by Aston Villa in a heavy 7-2 defeat before the international break.

Carlo Ancelotti has inspired the Toffees with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez shining so far this term, while Jurgen Klopp will also have the Champions League to consider and a trip to Amsterdam to take on Ajax just three days after this game. Follow all the action, updates, analysis and reaction from Goodison Park below.

45+4 mins: Half-time. Liverpool look the most confident team at the break but Everton have found a way to stay in the game. 

Goals from Sadio Mane and Michael Keane keep the match all square going into the second half. It’s all still up for grabs.

39 mins: Slick stuff from Liverpool. The ball comes to Mo Salah on the right side of the box. A short pass finds Thiago and he returns the favour, Salah side-foots a shot but doesn’t get enought power on the ball to beat Pickford.
