New Premier League table without VAR: Liverpool and Newcastle shocks as Everton and Man Utd get new positions

Liverpool and Everton both return to Premier League action this weekend as the Merseyside rivals both play at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds are at home to Brighton and Hove Albion while the Toffees head to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea. Last weekend, Everton defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium while Liverpool threw away a 2-0 lead and conceded in the 96th minute as they drew 3-3 with Leeds United at Elland Road.
