Having shipped nine goals in just three successive Premier League away games, Liverpool would usually welcome a home match against a relegation-threatened side at Anfield.
But given it is a resurgent Everton who will arrive on Monday night, fresh from beating league leaders Arsenal in Sean Dyche's first fixture as manager, perhaps the upcoming derby holds more jeopardy than opportunity for Jurgen Klopp?
Everton won at Anfield in February 2021 during the behind-closed-doors campaign, but they are without a victory in front of an Anfield crowd since way back in September 1999. With Liverpool horribly, woefully out of sorts, however, Monday night's game represents a great chance for the Blues to end that wretched run and Dyche's has an immediate route to hero status at Goodison Park.
