Premier League: Liverpool Eye Derby Delight, Arsenal Aim To Extend Perfect Start
Bolstered by one of their "best nights", Liverpool will look to pile fresh misery on Merseyside rivals Everton this weekend. Surprise leaders Arsenal travel to Manchester United aiming to extend the only perfect record in the Premier League this season, while Thomas Tuchel searches for answers to Chelsea's struggles.
Liverpool revival gathers pace
What a difference a week has made for Liverpool as the angst sparked by their three-match winless run has been replaced by the more familiar sight of Jurgen Klopp punching the air in front of a jubilant Kop.
When a pair of lacklustre draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace were followed by a dismal defeat at Manchester United, Liverpool boss Klopp faced some difficult questions about his injury-hit side's struggles.
But the critics have been silenced over the last seven days as Liverpool hammered Bournemouth 9-0 to equal the Premier League's record win, then stole a 2-1 victory against Newcastle thanks to Fabio Carvalho's opportunistic strike with virtually the last kick of the game.
Releasing the pent-up frustration of Liverpool's shaky start, Klopp celebrated wildly on the pitch after Carvalho's goal, to the delight of fans all around Anfield.
Now Klopp wants Liverpool to channel that emotion into another winning performance on Saturday at Goodison Park against an Everton side still waiting for their first league victory this season.
"It's a massive boost from a frustrating night," Klopp said. "One of the best nights we ever had, that's how football is.
"But we have to make sure we use these two days really well. The last two games we got six points, but we have to improve.
"It will not be that Everton open up for us now. We know it will be tough so we have to be ready."
