Back to the league and visit to our neighbour’s shiny new stadium for the derby match.
A win here could do wonders for our chances of Champions League football next season. How motivated will our players be after their midweek disappointment?

I’m sure that this game will get me perplexed…
COYR YNWA 
I am expecting a draw 
Really looking forward to it, basically a new era of ‘Everton away’, a new stadium.
Would love to witness the pre-match part outside the ground from a fan perspective, how it will all look like and what will the new routines be like going forward, with them now being basically in city centre.
They will be up for it and we should be, too. Big pressure also gives us a big opportunity. Would be brilliant to win our first game there. They actually lost more games at home than away in all competitions this season.
The most important match of the season. A must win not only because it’s Everton.
Come on redmen finish strong!
2 nil to us!
Hoping Gomez and Isak break their ducks, - life time and 2026, respectively…
Feel sick about this one
Oh God, I’d completely forgotten about that. Not good at all, absolutely not good.
I’m afraid we’re in for a very unpleasant surprise. Besides, we already have enough injuries; I could gladly do without this [insert appropriate word] opponent.
The away game against Everton is always the worst game of the season for me, and Slot probably has no idea what he’s in for.
The fact that they still have a theoretical chance of top five makes this much harder. I’d happily take the draw now.
Because… we didn’t play Everton away last season?
Not sure what the fuss is about. We showed against PSG that if we sit deep, we don’t concede too many.
All in all… they are within 5 points distance, which says everything about how far we’ve fallen. And I’m not even sure we’ll keep it at five, given the lack of fit strikers, capable wingers and a midfield full of holes like Swiss cheese.
Fortunately, I’ll miss the derby game because I’ll be travelling back from a weekend in London. I’m not expecting much, as we’re just not scoring many goals at the moment. It’s Everton’s cup final and they’ll try to kick us off the park as usual. I just hope our players can lift themselves for this, after the disappointment of Tuesday night.
Is this a call for damage limitation?
Within the first ten minutes.. I predict there will be at least three studs-up challenges on our players to put us off our game…
They’re not in the city centre, basically or otherwise.
Right, in my mind I have it closer to the strict center than it is.
There’s no way Everton will let us win the first derby at their new stadium. They’d rather send a few of us to Royal Liverpool University Hospital than let that happen.
That’s the smell of the sewage works next door.
