The current league leaders face the defending champions in what should be one of the best games of the year. Check out our detailed preview for more details.

What is Everton and Liverpool's position in the 2020-21 EPL season?

Everton get to this clash as the best team in the Premier League. Ancelotti's men are yet to lose a game in the English top-flight this season, as they have claimed four wins in their four matches. On top of it all, the Toffees have scored a league-leading 12 goals (even with Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur), while their defense has conceded five times.

Liverpool get to Goodison Park in fifth place. The Reds had been flawless during the start of the season, but their 7-2 loss against Aston Villa caught them -and the rest of the world- by surprise. Klopp's men have scored eleven goals this season, but their mishaps in defense during the clash against the Villains have seen their tally raise to eleven goals conceded as well.

What is Everton and Liverpool's form prior to this game?

Everton have been impressive during the current season, winning six games in a row in all competitions, with four of those coming in Premier League games. Perhaps the only remaining duty for Ancelotti's men would be to become more consistent in defense, as they have conceded in three of their four Premier League matches.

As for Liverpool, the team coached by Jürgen Klopp suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in team history prior to the International break. Moreover, the club has already been eliminated from the League Cup after losing their clash against Arsenal after penalties. Those back-to-back losses prompted questions from fans and experts following a start of the season that saw Klopp's men win three in a row.
