This will be Liverpool’s 122nd and potentially final visit to Goodison, including two FA Cup semi-finals as well as 119 previous games against Everton at the venue in all competitions.

The Reds are seeking their 100th victory over the Blues in all competitions.

Fixtures between Everton and Liverpool have seen the most red cards (23) and been drawn 0-0 the most (12) in Premier League history.

No side has scored more 90th-minute winners against an opponent in the competition than the Reds have against the Blues (five).

Since the start of last season, Liverpool are unbeaten in all eight of their Premier League games kicking off at 12.30pm on Saturday (six wins, two draws), including a 2-0 win against Everton. By contrast, the Blues are winless in their last six such matches (two draws, four losses).

The Reds have lost just one of their last 46 Premier League matches in the month of December, winning 34 and drawing 11.

Mohamed Salah has scored seven Premier League goals against Everton – only Steven Gerrard (nine) has netted more in the Merseyside derby in the competition.

Salah has scored in each of his last seven Premier League games. He is aiming to score in eight in a row for the first time – Daniel Sturridge is the only Reds player to have done so, achieving that feat in 2013-14.

The Egyptian is also two goals away from joining Billy Liddell in joint-fourth place on the club’s all-time top goalscorers list. He currently has 226 goals in all competitions.

The Toffees have won eight of their last 12 home Premier League games in the month of December, winning three of their four such fixtures since the start of last season to nil.

The Reds are unbeaten in their last nine away Premier League matches (five wins, four draws) since the 2-0 loss at Goodison Park in April.

Everton last won back-to-back Merseyside derbies in May 1985 (three in a row).

Only one Liverpool boss has ever won their first league Merseyside derby when that match has come away from home, with Kenny Dalglish overseeing a 3-2 victory in September 1985.

If Liverpool win, Arne Slot will become the first Reds boss ever to beat each of Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United at the first time of asking.

Everton have kept a clean sheet in 16 of their 35 Premier League home games under Sean Dyche.

The teams have met once previously on December 7 – Everton came from behind to record a 2-1 league win at Goodison in 1992.
