The Reds sit one point clear of Manchester City at the summit of the English top flight and are unbeaten in eight traveling to Goodison Park, but Everton will relish the idea of raining on their parade. Here’s how you can stream the match and what to know: Everton vs. Liverpool Date: Sunday, March 3 Time: 11 a.m. ET Location: Goodison Park, Liverpool, England TV Channel: NBCSN NBCSN Live Stream: fuboTV (start your 7-day free trial) Everton: Marco Silva’s side snapped a three-loss streak to beat Cardiff City 2-0 in the Welsh capital on Tuesday, a victory that pushed them above West Ham into ninth place. But that still leaves Everton eight places and 33 points worse off than their arch-nemesis, not to mention the Blues have lost 12 Premier League matches this season to Liverpool’s one. Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp’s side is unbeaten in their last 18 meetings with Everton in all competitions, a record that dates back to the Toffees’ last home win over their old foe in October 2010. Liverpool has beaten Everton on their own turf just twice in that span, however, drawing five times. What doesn’t bode well for Sunday’s hosts is the fact they haven’t managed to find the back of the net in either of their last two clashes against the Reds at Goodison Park. They drew 0-0 at the venue in April 2018 and fell victim to a 90th-minute Sadio Mane decider in December 2016. This fixture has shown a recent trend in late winners, too. Divock Origi struck at the death to decide their last encounter at Anfield two months ago, while Virgil van Dijk scored a headed winner on his Liverpool debut in January 2018. Dejan Lovren is still an injury concern for Liverpool and looks likely to remain sidelined alongside defensive comrade Joe Gomez, while Everton will be without the services of Leighton Baines. Liverpool has the Premier League summit to motivate them for Sunday’s derby duel, but a win could also see the Reds double Everton’s points tally for extra bragging rights on Merseyside.

Everton’s long wait for victory in a Merseyside derby goes on but they found ample compensation in damaging their rivals’ bid for the Premier League title. On a local level the 233rd Merseyside derby brought Liverpool closer to the nine-year anniversary of their last defeat by Everton and extended their unbeaten run to a record 17 matches. But Liverpool are not competing on a local level this season, not when a first league championship since 1990 stands tantalisingly on the horizon. By that rarefied standard this represented a fairly dispiriting trip across Stanley Park for Klopp. The comfort belonged mainly to Marco Silva and his committed team who, as the noise levels that greeted an otherwise forgettable goalless draw testified, departed the happier by far. Mohamed Salah reacts as another chances goes begging for Liverpool against Everton at Goodison Park. Photograph: Magi Haroun/Rex/Shutterstock For the first time since 7 December Liverpool find themselves playing catch-up to Manchester City in the title race, having played an identical number of games. Their manager’s defiant message to the away support afterwards spoke of resilience and belief, and neither should be undermined by a one-point gap, but a fourth draw in six league outings reflects the lack of conviction that has afflicted Liverpool too often in 2019. They created the clearest openings at Goodison with Mohamed Salah clean through on goal twice and Fabinho presented with a golden opportunity at close range. None were taken thanks to interventions that reflected Everton’s wholehearted display through Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Lucas Digne respectively. Everton were certainly up for the 200th league edition of the most played derby in English football, crowd and players alike. Goodison was a febrile old place before kick-off as it produced its finest atmosphere of the season for a fixture that offered Silva’s side an opportunity to connect with an exasperated fanbase. Tony Bellew, the former world champion boxer and vocal Evertonian, said a few prayers when the game began and within seconds a pumped-up Seamus Coleman clattered into Divock Origi, Liverpool’s 96th-minute hero when the rivals met in December. Theo Walcott of all people collected the first booking for a foul on the same player after merely seven minutes. Liverpool needed time to find their rhythm in the face of a quick and aggressive Everton display. Dominic Calvert-Lewin refused to be intimidated by the power and height in Liverpool’s central defence and worked ferociously across the front line, though he was too often left isolated when Pickford pinged wasteful clearances in the young Everton striker’s direction.

Thank you for your feedback. The England goalkeeper’s distribution was erratic at best but his shot-stopping could not be faulted when Liverpool created the only clear chance of a frenetic first half. Everton’s shape was occasionally ragged and the space between their central defenders and midfielders would have been manna from heaven for Roberto Firmino. Unfortunately for Klopp his influential Brazilian was fit enough for only the final 27 minutes from the bench having injured an ankle at Manchester United last Sunday. A mistake by Morgan Schneiderlin presented Liverpool with their first opening. His failure to control a short pass enabled Fabinho to release Salah with a perfectly weighted pass. Salah sprinted in from the right, Pickford stood his ground and made a fine stop to his right. Coleman threw himself in the way of Jordan Henderson’s shot from the rebound and Everton escaped. The Republic of Ireland captain was alert to stop Salah latching on to a superb ball over the Everton defence by Henderson as Liverpool, with their breathtaking speed and numbers on the break, carried the greater threat.An end product, a touch of composure and quality on the ball were lacking in both teams, however. This was another in the lengthy list of Merseyside derbies that resembled a scrap more than a spectacle. Alisson was forced into his first save of the game early in an improved second half when Calvert-Lewin met Digne’s corner with a glancing header. Pickford, his clearances sailing out of play or on to a Liverpool player’s head with alarming regularity, saved comfortably from a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick.

Salah was given another clear run at Pickford’s goal when Joël Matip ghosted beyond Schneiderlin and put the forward through via a deflection off Kurt Zouma. Liverpool’s leading marksman seemed poised to convert when Keane launched himself into an excellent and vital interception. Another last-ditch tackle, this time from Digne, denied Fabinho as the Brazilian midfielder was about to bury a Virgil Van Dijk header across goal at close range. With Firmino and James Milner entering the fray courtesy of a double substitution by Klopp, who withdrew the subdued Georginio Wijnaldum and Origi respectively, the visitors had several openings to punish Everton on the counter-attack late on but failed to capitalise. Matip and Van Dijk were both wayward with presentable headers. The hosts, too, had their glimmers of opportunity in a more open second half with Richarlison improving their approach down the right. Bernard was millimetres away from connecting with the winger’s low cross and was also foiled by a fine Van Dijk tackle as he sought to weave his way into the area. Klopp’s team could not repeat their habit of punishing Everton at the frantic end this time and it is advantage Manchester City, albeit a slim one.<doc-sep>
T he Premier League title race took yet another turn as Everton held Liverpool to a goalless draw in a low-quality Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Mohamed Salah missed the game’s best chance as the Reds – just as they did at Old Trafford a week ago - lacked fluidity away from home to leave Manchester City a point clear at the top with nine matches to go. With Roberto Firmino only fit enough for a place on the bench, Jurgen Klopp made just one change to the side that had thumped Watford in midweek, with Jordan Henderson preferred to James Milner in midfield. Marco Silva sprang something of a surprise by dropping out-of-form Brazilian Richarlison, with countryman Bernard included after an impressive cameo in the win over Cardiff. Goodison was sizzling, the blue majority desperate to see their side inflict a hammer blow to Liverpool’s title chances the day after City had, temporarily at least, returned to the summit. The game itself, however, struggled to catch alight early on. The home side’s primary tactic of pumping long balls up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, comfortably outduelled in the air by Virgil van Dijk, was so persistent that you felt it must have been pre-planned, yet so obviously hopeless that you wondered why. The Reds were not much more inventive going forward, and their best chance came when Henderson turned a midfield interception into a first-time pass to send Salah clean through. Jordan Pickford made an important save to deny Mohamed Salah at Goodison Park / Liverpool FC via Getty Images Rather than drive inside though, the Egyptian took two heavy, straight touches, narrowing the angle so much that Jordan Pickford barely bothered leaving his line, and the England No1 stood up well to push away a telegraphed finish. Lucas Digne, whose over-eagerness had left Salah the space for that chance, and who spent much of the first half chasing shadows, then made a crucial intervention to deny Trent Alexander-Arnold a chance on the volley from Andy Robertson’s cross. By the half-time whistle Pickford’s stop from Salah was still the only save of note made by either ‘keeper. Another opening came and went for Salah just before the hour mark, this time a hefty touch allowing Michael Keane to make a terrific sliding challenge after Joel Matip’s pass had deflected into his path. Egyptian Salah spurned another chance in the second half as Michael Keane made a crucial challenge / Getty Images Silva sent on Richarlison for the woefully ineffective Theo Walcott, while Klopp rolled the dice, throwing on Firmino and Milner for Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi. Both sides improved for the changes. Van Dijk’s header across goal looked certain to tee up the opening goal for Fabinho, but again a slightly poor touch allowed Digne to keep up his habit of rarely being in the right place to start with, but just about getting there in time. ‘Small margins’ was then the buzzphrase at the other end as Richarlison swept across goal and the diminutive Bernard came within inches of guiding home. But where Origi’s bizarre goal had settled the reverse fixture at Anfield in December, there was to be no late decider here.
