Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says tomorrow at Everton is all about "derby fever".
The Reds need a win to stay in touch with fellow title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
Klopp said: "Super important for us and that is clear. Really important like all the other games but we know about the importance.
"I don't know when my first derby was but I always knew how important it was. Now I know it and I feel it. My understanding has developed over the years but they are always difficult games, especially there [Goodison Park].
"There has been good results and good games over the years. High intensity.
"Goodison Park can create quite a good atmosphere as well. We will never get underestimated when we arrive there and that is what makes it more difficult. They always look ready for the game. We have to make sure we are ready for this one.
"You cannot compare the games of the past. It is just about playing football but the atmosphere is special.
"Derby fever will be in minds so we have to be cool and that is an important part in preparing for the game."
On Trent Alexander-Arnold's return, Klopp said: "He has been a fantastic player from the first day. Outstanding talent and has turned into a world class football player.
"It is rare as a manger you are part of a journey for such a long time. Trent has never had another manager so it will be good for him to get new influences in the future. But he can be happy with the steps he has made.
"It is nice to have these players around. I have nothing bad to say about him and his development. He has a story that not many clubs can write but he will be someone people talk about in 30 years."
