Liverpool vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Everton in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Liverpool secure their first Premier League win in 2023 with a 2-0 triumph in the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield. Mohamed Salah put the Reds in front on a quick break, capitalising on a mistake from Jordan Pickford, 13 seconds after James Tarkowski struck the post at the other end. The home side doubled their advantage in the second half when Cody Gakpo converted Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross to notch his first goal for the club. Everton failed to conjure a clear-cut opening to press back at Liverpool, allowing Jurgen Klopp's men to see out a comfortable victory.

Liverpool have not been at their best in the final third but have the lead. Their defensive resilience has been poor of late, but they know a clean sheet today will secure a vital win. A crucial 45 minutes awaits in their campaign.

Liverpool hold a 1-0 lead over Everton at the break in the Merseyside derby. It has been a game of fine margins as the Toffees came with inches of taking the lead at one end as James Tarkowski struck the post. The Reds countered immediately and Mohamed Salah steered the home side in front. Both teams have lacked a threat in the final third, but Sean Dyche will feel aggrieved to be behind at the interval.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! SALAH SCORES ON THE COUNTER!!!!!!! 1-0 LIVERPOOL!!!!!! The Reds take the lead on a lightning break through Salah.
