It’s time to get as ready as we can for the biggest Merseyside Derby we’ve ever experienced, we’ll give you a few reasons to watch.
The famous Merseyside Derby has always been pretty one-sided since it started taking place in the city of Liverpool. The Reds against the Toffees have always meant a bitter rivalry, but we all know who is the strongest side of them both. This tendency can completely change this season as Carlo Ancelotti’s squad gets ready for an atypical season.
A first confrontation between these two squads during the season is taking place on Saturday at Goodison Park. On one side, we have the usual star-studded squad led by Jürgen Klopp. However, the locals are coming in hot with a completely renewed roster and key players in great moments. Carlo Ancelotti was smart enough to request some important transfers during the window that are proving quite effective so far.
They probably got the most unbelievable arrival directly from Real Madrid with James Rodriguez, who is taking the Premier League by storm. But there are a few more details that are worth mentioning ahead of this exciting game.
Calvert-Lewin’s moment and Ancelotti’s record vs Klopp.
Apart from James Rodriguez’s miraculous revival, we have two more reasons why Everton will actually compete against Liverpool tomorrow. Let’s start with the in-form striker the Toffees have at the moment. Dominic Calvert-Lewin truly is living the dream right now, he started the season with a bang.
The striker’s success story translated to the England national team during the international break after his goal against Wales. It was the first time he played with the Three Lions and the first goal he scored. A special day for a very special striker who can create all sorts of problems for Jürgen Klopp.
After that, we have Ancelotti’s record against the Reds. During his Napoli days, he was one of the few clubs in the world who defeated Liverpool during their most impressive run. Carlo didn’t defeat Klopp once, but twice in the Champions League.
In fact, Ancelotti won three games, lost two, and tied one in the six times they faced when he was at Napoli. If there’s someone who knows how to play Klopp’s Reds, that man is Carlo. Now that he has a better squad to compete with, things are about to get way more interesting.
