How to watch Merseyside derby: TV channel, start time and live stream for Liverpool vs Everton

The first Merseyside Derby of the season is set for Saturday as Premier League leaders Liverpool take on an Everton side experiencing a resurgence. The Reds are currently the only team in the Premier League with a perfect record, having won all four of their matches. Their most recent victory, a 1-0 win over Burnley, was secured in the dying moments of the match thanks to a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah. Arne Slot’s squad have made a habit of snatching victories at the last minute, winning all five of their games this season in such fashion. This trend continued on Wednesday night when Virgil van Dijk scored a 92nd-minute header to secure a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League . Whether Liverpool can maintain their knack for late wins remains to be seen, but many believe they will need to step up their game in the Premier League to outperform their local rivals, despite the flying start made by some of their new signings . David Moyes’ team, inspired by the influential Jack Grealish , have managed two wins and a draw this season, following an opening weekend defeat to Leeds United. Despite never having won a Premier League match at Anfield in 20 attempts, Moyes will undoubtedly be eyeing Liverpool’s defensive weaknesses ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, reports the Liverpool Echo . The first all-Merseyside clash of the season is set for Saturday, September 20 and kick-off at Anfield is scheduled for 12:30pm. The game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Coverage will begin at 11am. Fans who have purchased a package that includes TNT Sports can also stream the game live on TV, phones and tablets with a Discovery+ subscription. TNT Sports is available across all major TV platforms. You can also subscribe to TNT Sports through Discovery+, BT, EE, Sky, and Virgin Media. Slot has small concerns ahead of the clash with Everton. Curtis Jones sat out the tie against Atletico but could be back in contention. Alexander Isak played his first Liverpool minutes in midweek, but is thought not to be up to speed after missing much of pre-season. Alexis Mac Allister also looks set to be fit after making a return to the squad against the Spanish side on Wednesday. However, Dominik Szoboszlai’s excellent form this season could see him line-up in the double pivot alongside Ryan Gravenberch at the expense of Mac Allister. Moyes is set to be without Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitalii Mykolenko. Yet the Everton boss will have a call to make up top with Beto and new addition Thierno Barry vying for a start at Anfield. Tyler Dibling could also feature after moving from Southampton in August, with the youngster yet to make his Premier League bow for the Blues.
