Everton vs Liverpool - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as The Reds seek crucial Merseyside derby victory plus updates from Molineux and Selhurst Park

Jurgen Klopp has arrived at Goodison Park as Liverpool manager for the final time.

The players have obviously followed suit, and there is a certain look in their eyes that tells you they mean business.

We will find out which members of the squad will line up from the start tonight in a few moments.

Anticipation is growing!

Firstly, I apologise for the sub-heading… not! I love a bit of wordplay, I couldn’t resist.

Wolves have a very good record against Bournemouth in recent times, they have lost only one of their seven Premier League meetings with the Cherries, winning four.

The solitary loss? A 1-0 defeat to Gary O'Neil's Bournemouth in February 2023, at Molineux.

Oh, I love statistics like these, don’t you?

The Cherries also make some changes, three to be precise.

One of them is surprising as Mark Travers comes in between the posts, as Neto drops to the bench.

Antoine Semenyo and Alex Scott also come into the starting 11.

Gary O'Neil makes four changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Arsenal at Molineux on Saturday.

Nelson Semedo, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Mario Lemina, and Pablo Sarabia all come into the team to freshen things up.

Can this Wolves team get back to winning ways?

Sean Dyche, Everton boss, speaking on Tuesday:

While Jurgen Klopp doesn’t have to endure the pressure of a Merseyside Derby much longer, a certain Arne Slot might.

It seems after some twists and turns in the task to find Jurgen Klopp’s replacement, Liverpool have identified the man they want.

The Reds have opened talks with Feyenoord boss, Arne Slot, as they look to secure the services of the Dutch manager.

The fans certainly seem excited about the prospect of Slot’s potential arrival on Merseyside, so I have a feeling you may want to cast your eyes on this article.

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager, speaking on Tuesday:

Liverpool fans, do you have a handkerchief handy? You may get emotional tonight.

Today marks the 19th and final time Jurgen Klopp will lead his Reds out for a Merseyside Derby, but he will not be thinking about that. Three points is all he wants from tonight.

Klopp may not enjoy the derby (you’ll see in the next post), but he has been rather successful in them. Tonight, he can become the first Liverpool manager in history to reach 10 league wins against Everton.

However, the meetings he has had to endure at Goodison Park have not always been the best. Klopp has only won two out of seven matches at Goodison, with the other five ending in draws.

One point wouldn’t be good enough tonight though, if he wants a Premier League title fairytale ending at the Reds.

No room for emotion tonight from Klopp’s perspective, they have a job to do.

I think we can all admit, this Premier League campaign has been simply sensational.

I think it is reflected in some of the games we have had. Just to name a few, Chelsea 4-4 Man City, Man City 3-3 Tottenham, Liverpool 4-3 Fulham, and Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea.

The goalscoring has been relentless this season, like nothing we have ever seen before in the division.

So it comes as no surprise that only four goals need to fly in this evening for the Premier League record for most goals in a season to be broken.

We still have 45 more matches following tonight...

There are not just three Premier League matches tonight, there is a fourth too.

Manchester United are looking for some way to get the critics off their back, which will be hard after Sunday's shambles against Coventry.

They face a doomed rock-bottom Sheffield United tonight, so they should win, right? That's not how United roll though.

My colleague Michael Pavitt is on duty to give you all the updates on the ongoing at Old Trafford this evening.

I have a sneaky feeling this could be a sensational game.

Crystal Palace have suddenly burst into life under Oliver Glasner, first ending Liverpool’s 18-month Anfield unbeaten run before sending five goals past West Ham at the weekend.

It’s clear that Palace fans are loving life under their Austrian manager, their new and exciting brand of football is a pleasure to watch. Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are thriving in the system.

Having said that, Newcastle are in very good form. The Magpies have secured 10 points from their last four matches, with the most recent of those a 4-0 humbling of Tottenham.

Eddie Howe’s side come to Selhurst Park as a side riddled with injury problems, but with the form they are in, they’ll certainly be capable of hurting Palace’s sudden re-birth.

I’m predicting lots of goals.

Gary O’Neil is going to see some familiar faces at Molineux tonight.

Tonight will feel like a big match for the Wolves boss, who you would expect will want to get one over Bournemouth, who he managed for 10 months, and kept in the Premier League, last season.

However, wins have been hard to come by for Wolves of late, they are winless in their last five games, losing three of them.

It’s not like the visitors this evening are in the best form either, Bournemouth haven’t picked up three points in any of their last three matches.

Surely one of these records has to end tonight, right? I bet it will be a draw now I said that.

Nerves, optimism, anguish, and euphoria. Just some of the emotions fans feel on derby day.

The City of Liverpool is home to two of the biggest clubs in English football, everybody knows the Merseyside Derby. It was once seen as the ‘Friendly derby’, but it doesn’t feel like that anymore.

Friends of mine on both sides of the divide can go from laughing together one day to not talking the next. Why? That’s how much the derby means to them.

Liverpool have had the better of it over the last couple of decades, but you can never count Everton out. Form doesn’t come into it when these two meet, they are both desperate for three points.

So much is at stake for both teams. Liverpool are still in the three-horse race for the Premier League title, anything less than a win could spell the end of their title-winning dreams. Everton would happily oblige in crushing them.

Meanwhile, Everton are still in the midst of the relegation battle. Lose, and those doubts will start to creep back in despite their win over Nottingham Forest.

Both teams have so much to lose, it’s going to be a belter (we hope ).

After writing that introduction I’m now amped up for another brilliant night of top-tier football, so hopefully you all are too.

I have the pleasure of covering three matches for you this evening, let’s have a look at what you can look forward to:

I told you I’d be back soon; I hope you didn’t miss me too much!

Hopefully, last night’s London Derby whet your appetite, we have plenty more for you to dig your teeth into today.

It seems to be a week where rivals lock horns as once again red battles against blue in a local derby, this time in Merseyside as Everton plays host to title-chasing Liverpool at Goodison Park. It’s always a tasty fixture, this one.

It’s also an evening where the race for the European spots could be affected with Newcastle in action against Crystal Palace, while Gary O’Neil has a mini derby of his own as his Wolves side face his former employers, Bournemouth.

I’m sure you can already tell there are a lot of storylines for you to follow tonight. These are the types of nights I adore, there is so much at stake for so many teams.

I bet there are some very nervous Liverpool and Everton fans reading this, the derby means so much more than three points.

Right, I think that is enough of an introduction, let’s get cracking!
