"After that we play two away fixtures. I think to start at Anfield is top-class. What a season-opener that is, to start on TV against your rivals. It's a really good opportunity for us to make a good start, and I think take away the result, regardless of what happens I think what we want to do is put on a good performance. Obviously by doing that it gives us a much-improved opportunity to win the game."
"It's a nice record to have [against Everton] but it's one that probably doesn't apply to this job! Sometimes you have performances against teams where you get the result you require and sometimes you don't get the result."
"Of course, we're not expecting it to be a free-flowing game. We know what derbies are like, they're tense. There's very little constructive football played, I would say. It's a bit more about passion and endeavour and hard work."
Gareth Taylor was appointed Liverpool head coach last month after leaving Manchester City at the end of the 2024-25 season. Liverpool finished seventh in the WSL last term, 19 points behind third-place Manchester United, and won only one of their last six matches. Taylor has won eight of his nine previous WSL meetings with Everton and views the Anfield opener, broadcast on TV, as a top-class opportunity to begin the season well. Taylor wants a strong performance to maximise the chance of victory and expects a tense, hard-working derby rather than free-flowing football.
