Everton goalkeeper Pickford has warning for Liverpool

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has warned Liverpool they'll be a different proposition when the Premier League restarts.

Liverpool dominated the last Merseyside derby under the lights at home at Anfield, winning 5-2.

England's goalkeeper could do nothing to stop a rampant Sadio Mane, who provided two goals and two assists as Liverpool ran away with the game.

Despite the previous result, Pickford believes that the football hiatus has given him and his team-mates time to recharge ahead of the nine matches of the 2019-2020 campaign they have left to play.

"I've not had a break from football since I was probably a 16-year-old - I've been in the England set up since then - so it's nice for my mind and body to have a reset," he said.

"We're getting ready to go again but it's been a nice eight or nine weeks off, in the sense of giving your body time to relax."
