Liverpool Matches: The Red Sand#039; next five games after Merseyside derby win – Anfield Watch
Liverpool can go into their next five games with confidence and in good form after winning the Merseyside Derby 2-0 to move up to third in the Premier League.
After collecting disappointing away trips to Tottenham and Brighton, it was vital for the Reds to bounce back straight after the international break, and who better to play than Everton to get back to winning ways?

However, a result only counts if good results follow, and with the club and next month’s fixtures looking promising to say the least, there are no excuses.
Here’s what Liverpool expect in their next five games.
