Jordan Pickford says the Blues are ready to “give everything” to emerge victorious in the 231st Merseyside derby on Saturday.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper has caught the eye since joining Everton from Sunderland last summer – his shot-stopping ability, distribution and composure seeing him tipped to be England’s number one at the World Cup in Russia.
Having already played in two clashes against Liverpool this season – both at Anfield – Pickford now cannot wait to experience a fervent derby atmosphere at the Grand Old Lady.
And he’s under no illusions as to what victory would mean to Evertonians.
