Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, is gearing up for his first Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the new home of Everton Football Club. Liverpool is looking to overcome a three-match winless streak in away derbies, having drawn 2-2 in the previous encounter at Goodison Park. This match holds additional significance as it marks the inaugural derby at Everton's new stadium. Slot reflected on last season's derby, where a last-minute equalizer by James Tarkowski led to a controversial finish, resulting in his dismissal and the sending off of players Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones. He noted that while the atmosphere is always intense, it was the officiating that affected him during that match. Slot expressed confidence in his team's performance and acknowledged the support from fans, stating that the players ultimately make the difference in such high-stakes games.
