“That was my first experience of the Merseyside derby and it was quite an occasion. I know that the atmosphere that night was added to by the fact that it was the last derby match to be played at Goodison, but I am hoping that the circumstances around this fixture and the possibilities that could be created by a positive result for us will see Anfield at its very best.
“Because we know what Anfield can be like and what a huge difference it can make, it is inevitable that we would want it to be like this all the time. Maybe that is unrealistic, but it should always be our ambition on and off the pitch knowing that the closer we can get to our very top level the better our chances of success.”
If Anfield does bring its usual atmosphere and the Reds have recovered from the international break it looks like a straightforward victory for Slot’s side. However, footballis played on the pitch and Everton’s confidence is higher than ever, which should lead to another very interesting affair.
