Liverpool have lost just one of their last 22 home league games against Everton (W12 D9), going down 2-0 in February 2021.
The Merseyside derby has finished 0-0 more often than any other fixture in Premier League history, with the reverse meeting between Everton and Liverpool this season the 12th time the match has finished goalless.
This is the eighth Premier League meeting between Liverpool and Everton on a Monday, with no fixture being played on the day more often. Everton are unbeaten in their three such games at Anfield, drawing in February 1998 and January 2009, and winning 1-0 in September 1999.
Liverpool are winless in their four Premier League games so far in 2023 (D1 L3), netting just one goal so far. Only once in the Premier League era have they had a longer winless run at the start of a calendar year (5 games in 2017).
Liverpool have failed to score in their last three Premier League games, as many times as in their previous 65 matches combined. They last went four league games without a goal in January 2021, with the fourth game in that run a 1-0 home defeat to Sean Dyche's Burnley.
LOOKING FOR CONSECUTIVE WINS
Everton are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the second time this season, previously beating West Ham and Southampton in September/October. However, the Toffees have won just two of their last 27 away games in the competition (D7 L18).
Including their winner against Arsenal last time out, three of Everton's last five Premier League goals have come from corners. Just three of their previous 30 in the competition had come from such situations.
Just two of the 22 individual managers to have taken charge of Everton in a league Merseyside derby have won their first ever meeting with Liverpool (D12 L8) – Joe Royle in November 1994 and Dick Molyneux in October 1894. Sean Dyche will be the 10th manager whose first such game is away from home, with none of the previous nine winning (D4 L5).
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been involved in 99 Premier League goals in 103 games at Anfield (70 goals, 29 assists). He could become the 13th player to reach 100 goal involvements at a single ground in the competition, while if he does it in this match, he would be the third quickest after Alan Shearer at Ewood Park (74 games) and Thierry Henry at Highbury (92 games).
Since the resumption of the Premier League following the World Cup break, Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez has had more shots (22) and shots on target (10) without scoring than any other player in the competition.
