MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Premier League leaders Liverpool will need to maintain their excellent recent record against Everton in Sunday's Merseyside derby if they are to hold their advantage over second-placed Manchester City.

Liverpool are unbeaten in 18 matches against their neighbours - separated only by a park - since a defeat in October 2018, and the current 33-point gap tells its own story.
