Liverpool are ready for their 122nd and final battle at local rival Everton's Goodison Park, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday, adding that his side are eager to bounce back from their shock FA Cup defeat by Plymouth Argyle.

Arne Slot said his Liverpool players are “ready for another battle” as they prepare to take on Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday. The Premier League leaders have struggled to win at the home of their neighbours in recent years,

Everton secured a 3-0 victory in the first Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park on October 13, 1894. However, it took Liverpool 87 years to surpass Everton in terms of victories, following a 3-1 triumph at Anfield on November 7, 1981.
