Liverpool are ready for their 122nd and final battle at local rival Everton's Goodison Park, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday, adding that his side are eager to bounce back from their shock FA Cup defeat by Plymouth Argyle.

Goodison Park, one of English soccer's most venerable and atmospheric stadiums, is preparing to host a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool later Wednesday for the 120th and final time with eternal bragging rights at stake.

Liverpool travel down the road to Goodison Park to face Everton in the first Merseyside derby of the season. The game was supposed to be played in mid-December, but was postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Now, Liverpool can finally take advantage of their game in hand to go nine points clear of Arsenal atop the Premier League.

The drama of the Merseyside derby will unfold one final time at Goodison Park this evening before the stadium's summer demolition, as Everton host Liverpool in an English Premier League clash with implications at both ends of the table.
