Liverpool's quest for Premier League glory faces its emotional test as they host Everton in what promises to be another fiery Merseyside derby, with the Reds missing key defender Trent Alexander-Arnold but bolstered by Mohamed Salah's scintillating form of 13 goal contributions in his last eight league appearances.
David Moyes has transformed the Toffees into a resilient outfit unbeaten in six matches, though their three consecutive defeats at Anfield cast doubt on their ability to upset the title chasers.
With Liverpool having conceded in six of their last seven home fixtures and Everton finding the net in their last six league games, the stage is set for a potentially thrilling encounter between Liverpool and Everton at the cauldron of Anfield.

Liverpool vs. Everton preview
The Merseyside derby kicks off this Wednesday evening with Liverpool looking to cement their title ambitions while Everton aim to continue their impressive run under David Moyes, having lost just once in their last ten fixtures across all competitions.
The Reds enter this heated rivalry clash short-handed, missing key defensive options Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, and Joe Gomez through injuries, while Cody Gakpo is likely to earn a starting spot after coming off the bench in their EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle.
Liverpool's form at Anfield remains formidable despite their recent cup disappointments, with their only league defeat this season coming against Nottingham Forest back in September.
Mohamed Salah, who's bagged eight goals against the Toffees previously and contributed to 13 goals in his last eight Premier League outings, will surely be the focal point of Arne Slot's attacking strategy.
The blue half of Liverpool has shown tremendous resilience lately, going unbeaten in six matches including a spirited 2-2 draw in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
Everton's resurgence under Moyes faces a stern test though, as they've lost their last three visits to Anfield, and they'll be sweating on the fitness of Dwight McNeil while missing several key players including Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Both teams have demonstrated a knack for finding the net recently – Everton scoring in all six of their unbeaten run while Liverpool have conceded in six of their last seven home league fixtures.
The atmosphere at Anfield promises to be electric as these bitter rivals clash in what could be a tighter affair than the form book suggests, though the hosts remain favorites to claim local bragging rights.
