Liverpool host neighbour for 234th derby on Wednesday• Spirit ‘gives hope that things will change’, says SilvaMarco Silva believes Everton’s players have not lost faith in his methods and they can transform their season by going “face-to-face” with Liverpool in pursuit of the club’s first Anfield win in 20 years.
Silva is under intense pressure going into the 234th Merseyside derby, with Everton two points above the relegation zone after seven defeats in their past 10 league games. Liverpool, by stark contrast, are eight points clear at the top of the
Premier League, unbeaten at Anfield in 47 league games and equalled a club record of 31 league games unbeaten with victory against Brighton on Saturday.
