Stats:
23 - The Merseyside derby has seen the most red cards (23) and most 0-0 draws (12) in the Premier League era.
21 - Mohamed Salah has been involved in 21 away goals in the Premier League this season. He needs one more to break the record for the most in a single campaign (tied with Andy Cole) in the Premier League era.
3 - David Moyes has won three of the four league games since returning as manager, with his side scoring eight goals in the process. That is as many wins as Everton had managed in their previous 21 league games and as many goals as they had scored in their previous 14.
1 - Only one Liverpool manager has ever won their debut Merseyside derby in the league when it took place at Goodison Park: Kenny Dalglish in September 1985 (Liverpool won 3-2).
2 - Everton won their most recent derby (last April) 2-0, but they last won two in a row in 1984-85.
100 - A win here will be Liverpool's 100th against Everton in all competitions (D 77, L 68). It would be just the fifth time one side has beaten another 100 times since the formation of the Football League in 1888
