Liverpool determined to land derby win over Everton following subpar Sion draw - Lallana

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana says the Reds are determined to bounce back from their subpar Europa League performance against FC Sion by claiming all three points in Sunday's Merseyside Derby.


Lallana's fourth minute goal was not enough to see the Reds past the Swiss outfit on a disappointing night at Anfield, which saw Sion claim a share of the spoils with a 1-1 draw.

However, the 27-year-old said Liverpool have already shifted their focus to Sunday's showdown with local rivals Everton.

"We need to win our home games in [the Europa League]. We had enough chances tonight - listen, we wanted three points and we felt we created enough," Lallana said after the draw with Sion.

"No excuses, I should have had a second. Divock Origi had a few good opportunities.

"I'm sure the fans are frustrated. We have a massive game on Sunday.

"The derby has spice in it and hopefully we can get three points."
