Derby day at Anfield is different. It’s a special kind of electricity, a mix of nervous anticipation and unshakeable belief.
Saturday’s lunchtime kickoff against the Blue Sh*** feels as big as ever. While the form book supposedly goes out the window, our recent run of five wins from five, including the late drama against Atletico Madrid, gives us a huge boost. We’ve shown we can win in different ways, grinding out tight 1-0 victories and winning in last-gasp thrillers. It’s that winning mentality, that never-say-die attitude, that will be key.
Our new signings have hit the ground running, and there’s a real buzz about the squad. It’s going to be fascinating to see who Arne Slot picks, especially with Alexander Isak now almost back to full fitness after making his debut on Wednesday night. Will he start him from the off, or stick with the in-form Hugo Ekitike? Either way, we have a wealth of attacking talent to exploit an Everton defence that, while improved under David Moyes, has shown its vulnerabilities.
