Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend was their seventh defeat in the top flight this season, leaving them 10th in the Premier League standings. 

Jurgen Klopp has called for a reaction from his team on Monday when they host Everton at Anfield in one of the biggest English football rivalries.

The Toffees head into the game on the back of an encouraging 1-0 success against Arsenal, and Liverpool will not find it easy at Anfield.

We look at how Liverpool have fared in the last five Merseyside derbies.

This was a very eventful derby at Goodison Park. The visitors led twice but were pegged back each time.
