Liverpool are determined to stretch their unbeaten league record in Merseyside derbies to 13, while curtailing Everton's excellent form in the first Premier League game of the weekend. Should the Reds avoid defeat in Saturday's early kick off, they will equal their best run of top-flight matches without losing to Everton, set in 1978. The visitors to Anfield have been in good shape, though, suffering just one defeat in their last 12 fixtures in the division. Both sides have been hampered by injuries leading into the 228th edition of the rivalry, with Jurgen Klopp and Ronald Koeman needing to alter their preferred strategies. LIVERPOOL INJURIES
