That's all for today, goodbye!

That win takes Everton level on points with Liverpool, only behind them on goal difference and they're now unbeaten in eight away from home. Next up for them is Southampton at home. For Liverpool, that's now four losses on the bounce in the Premier League and they're without a win at home in six. Klopp will be hoping that they can bounce back next time out against Sheffield United.

Everton win their first Merseyside derby at Anfield since 1999 with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool. They took the lead three minutes in when Richarlison picked out the bottom corner. Pickford made three big saves to keep it at 1-0, denying Henderson and Alexander-Arnold in the first half, before smothering Salah's shot after the break. Sigurdsson then converted a penalty to seal the win after Calvert-Lewin was caught by Alexander-Arnold.

90' + 6' FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-2 EVERTON.

90' + 4' Digne has stayed down after being caught by Phillips as they both tried to get on the end of Liverpool's corner. The medical team are giving him some treatment, but it looks like he'll be able to carry on as he's quickly back to his feet.

90' + 2' GOOD SAVE! Wijnaldum cuts inside from the left and decides to have a go from the edge of the box. He curls his effort down the middle and Pickford has to tip it over his crossbar.

90' + 1' Sigurdsson has scored five away goals against Liverpool in all competitions - more than he has away at any other opponent in his career in England.

89' Everton have everyone sitting back in their own box as they try to close down the space ahead of Liverpool. The hosts are forced wide again, with Origi picking it up on the right, but he's dispossessed quickly by Godfrey.

D. Origi

Thiago Alcântara

87' Final roll of the dice for Liverpool now as Klopp brings on Origi for Thiago.

A. Iwobi

Richarlison

86' Final change for Everton now and the scorer of the first goal, Richarlison, makes way for Iwobi.

85' CLOSE! Firmino does brilliantly as he breaks through the four Everton players that crowd around him and keeps hold of the ball to get into the box. His low shot takes a slight deflection off Keane which helps it just wide of the far post.

G. Sigurðsson

Penalty Goal

83' SIGURDSSON SCORES! He takes a slow run-up to the spot, stuttering just before it, and hits it low into the bottom-left corner. Alisson went the right way but he couldn't stop it from crossing the line. 2-0 Everton!

82' Chris Kavanagh has been asked to go over to the monitor by VAR and have a look at the incident. He takes a very short look at the replay before going back across and pointing to the spot.

81' PENALTY TO EVERTON! Richarlison breaks on the counter from his own half before squaring it to Calvert-Lewin. His shot is saved by Alisson before Alexander-Arnold, who slid in to try and block the shot, sticks out a leg to bring him down and stop him from getting a second attempt.

79' Liverpool are still keeping Everton penned back deep in their own half as Robertson picks out Shaqiri on the edge of the box. He tries to thread it through for Mane, but Holgate is there to clear his lines.

77' Kabak goes long with his clearance and picks out Alexander-Arnold down the right. He slides a throughball forward for Salah to chase, but there's too much on it and Pickford comes off his line to collect it.

75' Shaqiri turns away from Doucoure in midfield and plays a good throughball into Salah on the edge of the box. Keane is there for Everton again though as he steps across to nick it off him.

73' Liverpool break quickly again and Mane overruns it when he gets to the edge of the box. Holgate gets a foot in and touches it straight to Firmino, but he fires his effort high over the bar into the stands.

71' Sigurdsson loops a long ball upfield and Calvert-Lewin does well to bring it down under pressure from Phillips. He takes it down the left but takes a heavy touch as he tries to cross it to Richarlison and sends it out of play.

69' GOOD SAVE! Liverpool get in behind Everton with a couple of one-touch passes and Salah is one-on-one with Pickford. He hits his shot across goal and the keeper smothers the shot before reacting quickly to stop Shaqiri from having a tap-in.

S. Mané

Yellow Card

67' Mane fouls Holgate in his attempts to win the ball back, but he isn't happy with the referee's decision. He's booked for dissent.

66' Alexander-Arnold pulls away from Digne on the right again and fizzes yet another dangerous cross into the six-yard box. None of his team-mates react quick enough though and it rolls straight out of play.

64' Richarlison's cross to Calvert-Lewin is cut out by Phillips, but his clearance only goes as far as Sigurdsson. He takes his shot from the edge of the box, but there's no power on it, and it's a comfortable save for Alisson.

X. Shaqiri

C. Jones

63' Liverpool are making their second change as well now and Jones is making way for Shaqiri.

D. Calvert-Lewin

J. Rodríguez

62' Everton's second change sees Calvert-Lewin coming on in place of Rodriguez.

61' Coleman plays a great ball over the top for Richarlison and he times his run perfectly to stay onside. He's quickly closed down by Phillips and turned away from goal and there isn't much he can do before Robertson nicks it off him.

G. Sigurðsson

André Gomes

59' First change for Everton now and Gomes is being taken off, with Sigurdsson on for him.

57' Mane slips which gives Keane chance to clear his lines, but then Gomes dawdles on the ball just outside the box. Thiago nicks it off him, playing in Firmino, but his low shot is straight down the middle at Pickford.

55' This is only the second time Everton have led at half-time in a Premier League game at Anfield; the only other occasion was September 1999 - their last league win away at Liverpool.

53' Mane is causing Everton a lot of problems as he pulls away from Holgate once again to try and get on the end of Thiago's throughball. Keane reads it well though and slides in to take the ball off him and stop the shot.

51' BLOCK! It's another dangerous cross from Alexander-Arnold as he cuts into the area and squares it across the six-yard box. Mane is running onto it at the far post but Godfrey sticks out a leg to stop it from reaching him.

49' Alexander-Arnold plays a throughball into Mane and he does well to hold it up while he waits for support. He goes to take it around Godfrey but ends up running into the defender and losing out.

47' SAVE! Robertson whips a great cross into the middle of the box and Mane manages to reach it, despite it being slightly behind him. He heads it down the middle and Pickford holds onto it.

46' Liverpool get us back underway for the second half!

Ancelotti will be especially pleased with how his side started, and despite seeing less of the ball, they've still looked dangerous going forward, so he'll want more of the same after the break. As for Liverpool, they've created some good chances, but they need to be more clinical if they want to get back into this game.

Everton's quick start gives them a 1-0 lead over Liverpool at the break. It took just three minutes for them to break the deadlock when Richarlison latched onto Rodriguez's throughball and picked out the far bottom corner. Liverpool dominated after that though with Pickford making two brilliant save to deny Henderson and Alexander-Arnold. Alisson was also tested at the other end when he pushed away Coleman's header from point-blank range.

45' + 5' HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-1 EVERTON.

45' + 3' Alexander-Arnold picks out Mane on the right of the box with a throughball and he turns before drilling a cross into the middle. He's closed down by two Everton defenders though and Keane makes the block.

O. Kabak

Yellow Card

45' + 1' Kabak is booked after he catches Coleman with a late challenge.

45' Gomes touches it back to Digne on the left and he whips another cross into the middle of the box. He's looking for Richarlison in the middle, but Kabak steps across him to intercept it and clear his lines.

43' Liverpool are still keeping possession well and it's patient play from the hosts as they move it out from the back. They win a free-kick on the right and Alexander-Arnold takes it quickly, but there's too much on it for Mane and Pickford collects.

André Gomes

Yellow Card

41' Gomes has made a couple of late challenges so far and the yellow card is out this time as he clatters into Salah off the ball.

39' It's a nervy moment for Keane at the back as he clears his lines and Firmino is closing him down quickly. He blocks the clearance and it loops back towards goal. Pickford backtracks but it's safely over the bar.

37' CHANCE! Liverpool have another free-kick, but this one is further out through the middle. Thiago lifts it over the top and Phillips throws himself forward to head it towards the near post but sends it into the side netting.

35' Jones finds himself in a pocket of space on the edge of the area and he has time to take a touch before curling an effort towards the far post. He can't get it in at the far post though and it bounces wide.

33' GREAT SAVE! It's a wonderful cross into the box from Digne on the left and Coleman gets ahead of Robertson at the far post. He heads it powerfully at goal, but Alisson quickly gets across his line to push it wide.

31' Liverpool have a free-kick just outside the box and it's Alexander-Arnold that steps up to take it. He curls his effort over the wall, but there's not enough dip to get it back under the crossbar and it sails over the goal.

N. Phillips

J. Henderson

30' Henderson tried to carry on after coming back onto the field, but he goes down off the ball again and Phillips is being brought on for him.

29' Everton are on the attack again now, with Davies leading it down the left. His cross into the box is blocked and they can't get hold of the loose ball to try and keep the pressure on Liverpool.

27' Henderson slowly gets back to his feet with help from the physio and it looks like he wants to try and carry on as he walks to the edge of the pitch.

25' It looks like there's a problem for Henderson here as he's stayed down holding his hamstring after stretching to keep the ball away from Doucoure, and the medical team are on to give him some treatment.

23' Liverpool are piling the pressure on Everton now and keeping the visitors penned back in their own half as they push forward again. Jones plays a throughball into Salah this time, but Keane steps across to intercept it.

21' GOOD SAVE! Mane drills a low cross to Alexander-Arnold and nobody closes him down as he gets to the edge of the box. There's a lot of power behind the shot and Pickford does well to get a hand to it to help it over.

20' GREAT SAVE! Alexander-Arnold's cross is cleared by Godfrey, but only as far as Henderson on the edge of the box. He hits the shot on the volley and it's dipping towards the far post, but Pickford gets fingertips to it to tip it wide.

19' Salah threads it through to Mane, but he turns into trouble on the edge of the box. Keane nicks it off him, but it rebounds into Firmino's path. He takes the shot early, but it deflects off Holgate to go wide.

17' Rodriguez wins a free-kick through the middle after being caught by Kabak and he's standing over it. He keeps his shot low, sending it under the wall, but it's an easy one for Alisson, who holds onto it.

15' Richarlison is only the third Everton player to score in back-to-back Premier League appearances at Anfield for the club, after Tim Cahill in March 2006 and Kevin Campbell in October 2000.

13' Pickford goes long with his clearance and it ends up being a good pass into Richarlison after he got away from Kabak. He has to wait for support to join him which gives Liverpool chance to get back and his cross is blocked.

11' Alexander-Arnold curls the corner into the near post and Wijnaldum pulls away from Digne to get to it. He flicks his header on, but can't direct it on target, sending it just wide of the woodwork.

9' Salah breaks quickly through the middle and he touches it out to Mane on the left. He whips an early cross into the box for Firmino, but Pickford reads it well and comes off his line to punch it away.

7' It's better from Liverpool now as they patiently keep possession and Alexander-Arnold plays a good throughball into Salah. He squares it into the middle for Mane, but it's cut out by Keane.

5' Everton are causing Liverpool some early problems as they keep the pressure on. Rodriguez is picked out in the middle again, but he's brought down by Robertson before he can pick out a team-mate.

J. Rodríguez

Assist

3' Rodriguez gets his head up to spot Richarlison's run and plays a first-time throughball into him to get him in on goal.

Goal

1' Davies gets the game underway for Everton!

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

Liverpool haven't lost four consecutive Premier League matches since December 2002 under Gerard Houllier.

Carlo Ancelotti makes three changes to the team that lost to Manchester City on Wednesday, with Coleman, Rodriguez and Gomes all coming in. Iwobi and Sigurdsson drop to the bench, where Calvert-Lewin and Allan are named after returning from injury. Yerry Mina is out with a calf problem.

Jurgen Klopp was clearly happy with his side's performance against Leipzig in midweek as he names an unchanged line-up today, which means Firmino makes his 200th Premier League appearance for the club.

EVERTON SUBS: Bernard, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Niels Nkounkou, Allan, Alex Iwobi, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Robin Olsen, Joshua King, Tyler Onyango.

EVERTON STARTING XI (4-5-1): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Mason Holgate, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey; James Rodriguez, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Andre Gomes, Lucas Digne; Richarlison.

LIVERPOOL SUBS: Nathaniel Phillips, Neco Williams, Ben Davies, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Divock Origi, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Xherdan Shaqiri, Adrian.

LIVERPOOL STARTING XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ozan Kabak, Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson; Thiago Alcantara, Georginio Wijnaldum, Curtis Jones; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.

Liverpool have slipped down to sixth in the table after losing their last three games, and they're without a win in five at Anfield, having lost the last three at home. They do come into today on the back of a win though after a 2-0 away win at RB Leipzig in the Champions League. As for Everton, they would go level on points with their rivals with a win today. They've won just one of their last six in the league, but have been good away from home recently, going unbeaten in their previous seven on the road (W5 D2).
