For Everton there is the first phase with controlled build-up play. However, this disappears when Gordon is played with a diagonal ball that is a little too high. He can only keep it in the field with his head and thus plays directly to the opponent.

Fabinho can continue playing after a short treatment. The Brazilian collided with an opponent.

Everton are back! In the opposing half, the hosts press and win the ball just before the center line. This allows Gray to pull in front of the penalty area from the right and play just past van Dijk into Maupay’s run. The attacker shoots immediately, but misses the ball. So the leather hops past the long corner.

The toffees get a little better and cross again in front of the goal. However, Gray’s cross flies past friend and foe alike.

Everton are switching for the first time! Maupay gets some space in the opposing half. With a clever through ball, he served the passing Onana, but he missed the right time for the shot on goal. Instead, he crosses flat into the arms of the diving Alisson inside the penalty area.

Liverpool picks up some speed on the right, but Salah has to turn away at the baseline. Shortly thereafter, a cross from Harvey Elliot is cleared in the middle.

For the first time Maupay is searched with a long ball. The newcomer should take on a difficult job as a solo entertainer. This pass flies over him and ends up in the side.

Alexander-Arnold hits the first corner in front of the goal from the right. This is clarified in the center just before the penalty area, from where Tsimikas deducts directly, but gets stuck in the legs of the defense.

The ball rolls in Goodison Park. The Merseyside derby is on. Let the wild ride begin!
13:27
In a fantastic atmosphere, both teams step onto the lawn of Goodison Park. It will not be long.
13:23
Incidentally, the Everton and Liverpool fan groups are uniting today under the motto “Enough is enough. Our city in unity” after three people, including a nine-year-old girl, were recently killed at gunpoint.
13:18
The internationally proven Anthony Taylor will referee this game. The 43-year-old Wythenshawe official will be assisted by linesmen Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn.
13:13
There was precious little for the Toffees in the derbies last season. Everton lost the home game on December 1 last year 4-1. In the second leg, the LFC made it 2-0 through goals from Andrew Robertson and Divock Origi.
13:05
After this extremely tight 2-1 win over Newcastle, Jürgen Klopp rotated to three positions. With Jordan Henderson, the next player in the headquarters falls out. 20-year-old Fabio Carvalho will step in for the veteran while newcomer Arthur just looks on. In addition, Andrew Robertson and Roberto Firmino sit on the sidelines at the start. The two will be replaced by Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Núñez. The latter returns to the starting XI after being suspended.
12:57 p.m
The LFC also weakened at the start of the season. After two draws and the surprising defeat in the eternal duel with Manchester United, a small crisis was already declared, which was swept aside with an outstanding 9-0 against AFC Bournemouth. Against a strong Newcastle United, however, the next setback almost followed: Fabio Carvalho scored the acclaimed winner only in the eighth minute of injury time, which means that the Reds can now squint towards the top again.
12:48 p.m
Despite the recent draw at Leeds, Frank Lampard makes just one change in his starting XI to achieve this win. New signing Neal Maupay makes his debut in the Toffees squad and makes it straight into the first team. Dwight McNeil, who initially sits on the bench, gives way to the Frenchman. Returnee Idrissa Gueye will also sit next to him.
12:39 p.m
The start of the season was very sobering for Everton. The Toffees celebrated their only win of the season in the League Cup at lower-league Fleetwood Town. Coach Frank Lampard’s side are still without a win in the league. Most recently, the team had a string of 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest, Brentford FC and Leeds United. So it would be a good fit if the Toffees celebrated their first victory with their arch-rival.

Welcome to the Merseyside Derby! Everton FC host Liverpool FC at 13:30. It’s about to start!
