Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti as “the next challenge in the line-up”.

Globe believes Ancelotti has improved Everton with his signing this summer and that it reflects on the pitch.

He told BBC Football Focus:

It has been 31 years since Mercedes played against Derby Everton.

But here we are again, Dofis is sitting pretty half right after the perfect start to the season under Carlo Ancelotti.

Liverpool were relegated by Aston Villa before the break and will be very eager to jump back.

Liverpool have 11 wins and 11 draws in 22 games against Everton.

Everton beat Liverpool 10-0 in the Premier League 2-0 in October 2010. Since then they have not won in 19 league meetings with 11 draws and eight defeats.

Seven of the last eight league derby matches at Goodison Park ended in a draw, with Liverpool winning the other.

The last three hosts hosted by Everton ended without a goal.

For Everton, Jerry Mina and Lucas Dickney are expected to be fit for international duty after some minor injuries.

Seamus Coleman, Allen and Andre Gomes all returned to training this week, and this could be considered a starting point.

Alison Becker is out for Liverpool, so Adrian will be on target.

Sadio Mane and Diego Alcondara are set to return after self-isolation due to positive corona virus tests, while Joel Mattip is back in training.

“The first thing I noticed when he came in was that he never changed anything. A new, younger manager could have decided to do things (differently) immediately,” Ferguson told the Daily Mail.

“They may have forced their philosophy – I hate that word – or send the style of play to the team. Some managers would have come in and said … ‘Change this, change that, change everything.’ He never did it.I thought it was class.

“I learned a lot from him. He’s a sober guy, but, trust me, he has a bite on him. Carlo has worked his magic. We all respect him for the things he did in the game. But. He’s hardworking and out on the grass every day.”
