Everton vs Liverpool 2021 TV details: how to watch for free, what channel is it on, live stream

The first Merseyside derby of the season takes place on Wednesday when Everton host Liverpool at Goodison Park in the Premier League (20.15).

The clash has even more spice to it than usual as Rafa Benitez takes charge of the Toffees against the club he guided to Champions League glory in 2005.

Both sides couldn’t be in contrasting fortunes heading into the encounter.

The Reds have won their past three games and put four goals past Arsenal and Southampton last time out.

Everton, on the other hand, have picked up just two points from their past seven matches.

But all form usually goes out of the window for this showdown and the Blues hold the bragging rights after a 2-0 win at Anfielf when the pair last met in February.

Here’s all the key information you need to know.

What's the Everton team news?

Benitez will be hoping to have Yerry Mina back. The centre-back hasn't played in the past five games because of a hamstring issue.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will again be sidelined because of a quad problem and Andre Gomes has a calf injury.

Everton will welcome back Richarlison, who missed the Brentford defeat through suspension.

Mason Holgate serves the final match of a three-game ban.

What's the Liverpool team news?

The Reds' issues in the treatment room have somewhat cleared but they still have issues.

Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita (both hamstring) remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, Curtis Jones continues to be hampered by an eye problem.

Joe Gomez has been out since the start of the month with a calf complaint.
