Merseyside Derby: Salah Eyes History as Liverpool Look to Respond to Arsenal

Mohamed Salah could make history by becoming the first player since Dixie Dean to score multiple goals in both Merseyside derbies of a season. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, vying for the Premier League title, face Everton at Goodison Park, where they have not lost under Klopp. Despite a recent slump, Liverpool bounced back with a win at Fulham, while Everton moved clear of the relegation zone after defeating Nottingham Forest. Arsenal’s victory over Chelsea puts pressure on Liverpool, who could draw level on points with the league leaders with a win. Injuries have depleted Liverpool’s attack, with Diogo Jota ruled out for several weeks, but Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, and Alexis Mac Allister could return to the starting lineup. Everton will assess the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Historically, Liverpool has dominated the fixture, losing only once in their last 26 league meetings, and they aim for their 100th win in the rivalry.
