Liverpool v Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Mohamed Salah double

The two Merseyside rivals clash at Anfield as the Premier League returns from international break

Merseyside derby is such a special game - Klopp

Liverpool take on Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday in a bid to bounce back following two successive matches without a win.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds suffered a last-gasp defeat at Tottenham following a VAR-fueled controversy and also drew 2-2 with Brighton in the last game before the international break.

Liverpool have had problems in midfield and at the back this season and have conceded nine goals in the opening eight matches. However, they have had no problems at the other end of the field, having netted 18 times.

Everton have been floundering towards the foot of the table so far this season, having only just escaped relegation last time, but have won twice in their last three league fixtures.

50’ Kounate is shown Liverpool’s first yellow card of the match and it’s for a slightly unnecessary foul on Onana.

The Liverpool defender was then caught in the face and there’s a brief pause in play.

HT: Liverpool 0-0 Everton

HT: The main talking point from the opening 45 will be the two yellow cards shown to Ashley Young that has left Everton with a lot of defending to do in the next half.

Liverpool have been trying their luck from distance, and have looked the more like scoring, although Pickford has been largely untroubled.

In the added time, Jota tries to weave his way through into the box but is stopped.

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

40’ Alexander-Arnold has had a shot! It fires towards the goal from distance, he has hit that so so sweetly but just over the bar.

That would have been a stunning goal.

Red card! Ashley Young sent off Liverpool 0-0 Everton

37’ Young has gone! Just as Everton looked to be doing well.

He makes a tackle on Diaz on the edge of the box and the referee has shown no mercy and he has gone and Everton now have a mountain to do with just 10 men.
