Klopp Doesn't Want A Violent Merseyside Derby

Apr 24, 2024

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has told his players they MUST keep calm and avoid getting sent off in tomorrow morning's EPL clash at Everton.  

He believes it will be a very tough game, due to Everton's fight against relegation. 

Matches between the two clubs are usually very intense, with 23 red cards handed out throughout the history of the Merseyside Derby.  

This makes it the fixture with the most red-cards in the Premier League.
