2021/22 English Premier League

Liverpool v Everton
Anfield
Liverpool, England
Sunday, 24 April 2022
Kick-off is at 16h30
Everton will be hoping to put a major dent in Liverpool's title challenge when they clash at Anfield in the 240th Merseyside derby on Sunday, April 24.
The Toffees won the corresponding fixture 2-0 last season and will be targeting more of the same, although the Reds may prove too strong on this occasion.
Jurgen Klopp's side have pushed Manchester City all the way this term and are just one point behind the defending
Premier League champions after their 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium on April 10.
The two title rivals faced off in the FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, with the Merseyside giants emerging 3-2 victors to book a final date with Chelsea.

Klopp has been forced to rotate his squad heavily in recent weeks due to the intense schedule and he praised the players for handling the situation to keep the club's quadruple challenge alive.
"In our situation it is clear. There were some players not in the squad for the weekend, for example, and will not be in the squad for tomorrow, who are in really good shape - really, really, really good. I wouldn't tell here, obviously, or would say, 'It's easier to leave him out'," the German said.
"But the boys behave... and if we achieve anything this year, whatever it will be, it is because of how all the boys deal with the situation, and that means as well the boys who were not in the squad from time to time."
Frank Lampard's team had the week off after boosting their chances of staying up with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on April 9.

The Toffees pulled three points clear of 18th-placed Burnley and Lampard has challenged his players to repeat their performance against United for arguably their biggest match of the campaign.
"We have to bottle this feeling up and go again. We have to replicate the atmosphere and the approach to the game and go again," he said.
"In football, some things are simple. They aren't simple to execute but they are to talk about. When you ask for running and tackles and fight, that's a pretty simple thing.
"We will concentrate on the real important parts of the United game that got us a result. Then the players have to replicate it."
