Jurgen Klopp is preparing for one of Liverpool's biggest games of the season - the Merseyside derby against Sean Dyche's Everton.
The Reds will welcome the Toffees from the other side of Stanley Park, with plenty at stake. Liverpool are looking to get back to winning ways after failing to beat Brighton and Tottenham, with Everton hoping to build on their 3-0 home win against Bournemouth.
The two rivals are experiencing very different campaigns. Liverpool are looking like trophy candidates again after signing the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alex Mac Allister, while relegation candidates Everton will just be happy to stay in the Premier League. With that in mind, here are the latest headlines from Merseyside...
Musiala transfer interest
Liverpool are keen on signing Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala. The Germany international, 20, still has three years left on his contract but isn't expected to agree an extension in the near future, with Klopp keeping tabs on him.
Musiala scored 16 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions for Bayern last season. The former England youth star spent time in the academies of Southampton and Chelsea as a teenager, and he hasn't ruled out a return to the Premier League.

Maguire backs Henderson
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire claims those who boo ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson aren't "proper England fans". Maguire made the remark after Henderson was jeered during a friendly against Australia last Friday following his move to Al-Ettifaq.
Maguire said: "Proper England fans don't boo players. Don't boo players who dedicate their life to play and do everything they can to make this country have good memories and have special moments for them and their families."
Maguire admitted to hearing "the cheers and a few jeers" when Henderson came on in the 69th minute of England's 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying win against Italy on Tuesday. The centre-back added: "They (those who boo Henderson) aren't England fans."
