Liverpool faces no intimidation from Everton at Anfield, according to Everton manager Silva.
In the upcoming Merseyside derby, scheduled for Sunday, Everton manager David Moyes returns to the scene of his former glory, ready to face Liverpool for the first time since his return to the club in January 2025.
Marco Silva, Everton's current manager, has made it clear that the history of the rivalry will not affect his team's mental state. He emphasized that the word 'fear' or similar sentiments do not exist in Everton's dressing room. Instead, Silva wants his team to be themselves, as they have in previous big games, and to focus on their own performance to have a chance against Liverpool.
Everton's recent form suggests they are up for the challenge. The team has won five of their last seven Premier League matches, showing a strong determination and resilience. Silva believes that this momentum will carry over into the derby, and that the fans want to see Everton fight to achieve a good result and win the match.
However, Everton faces a daunting task as they aim to end their 19-year winless streak at Anfield in the Premier League. Liverpool has been unbeaten in the last 17 meetings with Everton in all competitions, making this a tough test for Silva's side.
Despite the challenges, Silva remains confident that Everton will not fear Liverpool. He stated that his team's ambition is always present, and enjoying the moment is important. Silva also emphasized that Everton needs to be strong in all moments of the match to compete against Liverpool, but did not mention the importance of ending the 19-year winless streak at Anfield specifically.
Silva respects Liverpool but does not believe the history of the rivalry affects his team's mental state. He sees the Merseyside derby as special because it's the next match, not because of any historical significance. For the Everton manager, the focus is on the present and the opportunity to secure a much-needed victory against their fierce rivals.
As Everton and Liverpool prepare to face off, one thing is certain: the derby will be a hotly contested match, with both teams giving their all to secure a victory. The stage is set for an exciting clash between two of the Premier League's most storied clubs.
