Liverpool FC 2 - 0 Everton FC
Liverpool vs Everton
14:36
Salah's late double helps Liverpool to a 2-0 win over 10-man Everton. Calvert-Lewin could've made things very different if his first-minute header wasn't saved by Alisson, but the game was dominated by the Reds after that. Young was sent off just 37 minutes in for a second yellow card, but Liverpool still struggled to break the visitors down. The hosts also could've been down to 10 in the second half, but Konate somehow managed to avoid a second booking. VAR then awarded a penalty for a handball against Keane, which Salah confidently rifled in, and he then finished off a counter-attack in the 97th minute to seal the points. Liverpool go top of the table and now turn their attention to Toulouse, who they’ll face in the Europa League on Thursday. Everton stay in 16th and will be looking to bounce back at West Ham next weekend. That's all for today, goodbye!

Chermiti's shot is blocked by Van Dijk, and Everton win a corner. Pickford is asking to go up, but with six minutes still to go, Dyche isn't allowing it. Garner swings it in, but it misses everybody in the box.
Liverpool vs Everton
14:23
WIDE! Jota carries it a long way down the left, and it looks like he's going to tee up Nunez through the middle, but he chooses to go it alone instead. He fires his shot towards the near post, but only hits the side netting.
Liverpool vs Everton
14:20
GREAT SAVE! It's more patient build-up from Liverpool, but Elliott injects some pace into it as he checks onto his left foot and whips a shot on goal. Pickford sees it late, but gets a strong hand behind it to tip it wide.

The final roll of the dice for Everton sees Chermiti come on for Mykolenko.

PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL! The referee is called over to have a look at the incident himself, and although there's nothing deliberate about it, Keane's arm was outstretched and Craig Pawson comes back on, pointing to the spot.
Liverpool vs Everton
14:04
The Anfield crowd is up once more as Diaz's cross strikes Keane's outstretched arm. The defender isn't too far away from it, but it's the positioning of the arm that could be the problem. A Liverpool corner is given, but VAR is having a look at it...
Liverpool vs Everton
14:02
More big shouts from the home fans for a penalty as Diaz goes down under a challenge from Patterson. There was very little contact and the Colombian went down dramatically. A VAR check confirms no spot-kick.
Liverpool vs Everton
14:00
Everton are still sitting deep in their own half, but they're comfortably dealing with the crosses coming in from both sides at the moment. Diaz and Salah both curl the ball in, but it's met by a blue shirt.

Substitution Konstantinos Tsimikas Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro
Liverpool vs Everton
13:50
Everton just can't get out of their own half, and Mac Allister wins it back on the halfway line. He helps it onto Jota, who flicks it into Salah's path. Branthwaite does get across, but the offside flag is up anyway.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:48
Onana races across to shield Diaz out of play, and his pace takes him over the advertising boards. It's an awkward fall over the edge by the midfielder, but after a little while he gets back to his feet without needing treatment.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:46
Everton have a rare chance to get forward here, but Mykolenko's cross is cleared by Konate. He gets it as far as Garner, who snatches at a first-time shot from outside the box and sends it high into the stands.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:44
There are big shouts for a penalty for a handball against Keane from the Liverpool faithful. VAR has a quick look at it, but it would've been harsh as a deflection off Gravenberch sent it towards the defender's arm, which was by his side.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:43
DOUBLE BLOCK! Patterson intercepts Szoboszlai's cross, but his clearance goes as far as Salah. Tarkowski stretches to block his shot before throwing himself in front of Gravenberch's follow-up effort.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:41
Onana knocks the ball past Konate, and the Liverpool defender clumsily brings him down to stop the counter. He goes into the book.

McNeil is the other player that's making way, with Patterson on for him.
Liverpool vs Everton

Substitution Jack David Harrison Michael Vincent Keane
Liverpool vs Everton
13:29
Klopp will be urging his side to pick up where they left off as they look to use their man advantage. His side have looked dangerous on the attack, but they need to test Pickford more often. As for Dyche, he'll be pleased that they managed to get through to the break without conceding - it'll be all about staying strong defensive as they look to try and see this out in the second half.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:24
It's goalless at the break as 10-man Everton hold on against Liverpool. The Reds dominated the first half, but it could've been a much different story had Calvert-Lewin scored his first-minute header. Young received two yellow cards for fouls on Diaz, with the second seeing him dismissed in the 37th minute. Alexander-Arnold and Szoboszlai both came close for the hosts, but Pickford only had one save to make in the first half, denying Mac Allister.
Liverpool vs Everton

Liverpool vs Everton
13:16
Tsimikas' corner is flicked on by Diaz, and Onana does well to hook it away under pressure. The left-back gets it once more and takes it to the byline before putting another cross in, but again, Onana is there to clear the danger.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:14
Tarkowski got in the way of Szoboszlai's shot and goes down winded, but Liverpool carry on. Szoboszlai picks out Alexander-Arnold, who fizzes a delightful cross into the box, but none of his team-mates can get a touch.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:12
GOOD CHANCE! McNeil has three Liverpool defenders around him, but he manages to find a pocket of space as he curls a shot on goal. It takes a slight nick off Van Dijk which has Alisson scrambling, but it sails over.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:11
GREAT CHANCE! Liverpool are piling the pressure on the visitors now and Van Dijk sees a header deflected out for a corner. Tsimikas' outswinger is cleared as far as Alexander-Arnold, who catches it sweetly on the volley, and it flies just over the crossbar.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:09
Yellow 2nd/RC Ashley Simon Young
Liverpool vs Everton
13:09
Everton are looking a little shaky at the back, but at the moment they're doing enough to frustrate Liverpool. Branthwaite wins it back and hooks it upfield for Doucoure, but Van Dijk gets to it first.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:06
SAVE! Szoboszlai lays it off to Mac Allister, and the space opens up for him through the middle, so he tries his luck. He drills a powerful shot at Pickford, who initially spills it but reacts quickly to get there ahead of Jota.

13:04
Tarkowski is late getting across to Gravenberch and cuts out his run. He can have no complaints about the booking.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:03
Young takes a loose touch which sends the ball straight out of play, and then he kicks it away to stop Liverpool from being able to take a quick throw-in. The Liverpool fans in front of it are asking for a second yellow card, but it doesn't come.
Liverpool vs Everton
13:01
Everton just can't keep hold of the ball at the moment. Pickford goes long from a goal-kick, and Young just manages to keep it in play, but from there Liverpool quickly win it back once more.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:59
Garner slides in to win it off Gravenberch, and Onana spots Alisson a long way out of his box. He attempts an audacious effort from the edge of the centre circle in his own half, but slices at it, causing the keeper no problems.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:59
CHANCE! Alexander-Arnold touches it into Salah, who checks back onto his left foot before whipping a shot towards goal. He can't keep it down though and it sails over Pickford's crossbar.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:57
Doucoure nicks it off Gravenberch, only to run straight into Szoboszlai and lose out once more. It's more patient from Liverpool at the moment, and they're keeping Everton penned back in their own half.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:56
Salah rolls the ball slightly to the right to give Alexander-Arnold a slightly better angle from the free-kick. He gets a lot of power into it, but he strikes it straight into the Everton wall.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:54
Everton just can't clear their lines and Gravenberch manages to poke it forward for Jota. He's trying to get a sight of goal when he's tripped by Tarkowski in the D, and Liverpool have a free-kick in a dangerous position.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:52
It's a wonderful switch from Mac Allister to pick out Salah, but a heavy touch gets away from him. Everton patiently work it out from the back and win a free-kick, but it comes to nothing.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:50
Liverpool eventually scramble Everton's corner away and Salah hooks it forward for Diaz. The Reds have four against three as Diaz squares it across, but Onana slides in with an excellent block to stop it from reaching Gravenberch.

12:49
Yellow Card Ashley Simon Young
Liverpool vs Everton
12:48
Everton's free-kick is taken quickly, and Tsimikas is slow to close Harrison down this time. He checks back to float a good cross to the edge of the six-yard box, but Konate clears it just in front of Calvert-Lewin.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:47
It's a very open game here and Doucoure is steadily making his way up the pitch before he helps it out to Harrison on the right. He's trying to find space for a cross, but can't get around Tsimikas.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:45
GOOD BLOCK! Van Dijk clears Everton's corner, and it's swept out to Szoboszlai to break on the counter down the left. He carries it a long way before laying it off to Diaz, but Young slides in with a brilliant tackle to deflect his shot over the bar.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:42
Liverpool comfortably deal with an Everton free-kick and then break quickly on the counter. Salah surges down the right before it's switched out to Diaz on the left. Young cuts that out to give away a corner, but nothing comes of it.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:39
Having won five of their first 11 Premier League games against Liverpool (D4 L2), Everton have now won just five of their last 51 against them in the competition (D21 L25).
Liverpool vs Everton
12:39
Tsimikas has acres of space down the left and he whips a wonderful, early delivery in. Gravenberch manages to flick it on while turning, but it flicks off Szoboszlai's chest and Pickford punches it away.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:36
Gravenberch dinks a lovely ball over the top for Salah, who is in space on the right of the box, but he snatches at his shot, hitting it across the box instead. Jota wasn't expecting it and can't bring it under control.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:34
McNeil whips a brilliant cross into the box for Calvert-Lewin to attack, but Alisson is alert to pluck it out of the air. He sets Salah away down the right, and he drives past Mykolenko, but a heavy touch shows too much of it to Pickford.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:32
Doucoure gets the game under way for Everton!
Liverpool vs Everton
12:32
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Liverpool vs Everton
12:28
Sean Dyche was clearly impressed with his team's performance in the win over Bournemouth two weeks ago as he names an unchanged line-up here. They are boosted by the return of Gueye, who is on the bench after recovering from a heel injury.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:24
Klopp makes four changes to the side that drew with Brighton last time out. Konate, Tsimikas, Gravenberch and Jota, who returns after serving a one-match ban, all come in. Matip, Elliott and Nunez drop to the bench, where Kelleher is also named after recovering from a knee problem. Andy Robertson is out with a shoulder injury he sustained on international duty.

Liverpool vs Everton
12:07
As for Everton, things are starting to look up for them. After a very slow start to their season, they've now managed to win three of their last four outings in all competitions (L1). Their first win of the campaign came away at Brentford, but they got their first victory at Goodison Park last time out as they brushed aside Bournemouth 3-0 just before the international break.
Liverpool vs Everton
12:07
Liverpool have the chance to go top of the Premier League table with a victory here today, and Jurgen Klopp will be looking to get his team back to winning ways. Their seven-match winning run in all competitions came to an end with a controversial 2-1 loss to Tottenham, and the Reds were most recently held to a 2-2 by Brighton. However, history is on their side in this fixture as they've lost just one of their last 25 league meetings with Everton (W11 D13), though that was a 2-0 home defeat in February 2021.
