Liverpool head into the Mersey derby on Sunday knowing they still need six points to secure their first league title in 30 years.

Manchester City's win against Arsenal has denied Jurgen Klopp's side the bonus of  securing the title at the home of Mersey rivals Everton.

That nightmare scenario for Evertonians on Sunday has disappeared but Carlo Ancelotti's team will still be desperate to turn the table on their rivals.

Everton have won most of their 37 points at Goodison this season and Ancelotti is undefeated in five matches there.

However, the odds are already stacked against 12th placed Everton, who have not won a Merseyside derby since October 2010.

Liverpool stars, including Virgil van Dijk and James Milner, prepared for the game in a training session on Wednesday, and the squad were giving it everything as the countdown to the title begins.
