Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson sends message to fans ahead of Everton clash: It's trust

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker admits Everton could be unpredictable under manager Sean Dyche tonight.

Dyche has been in charge of Everton for a couple of weeks.

Alisson said, "They could be (unpredictable). But every game we have had in front of us, they have been really big challenges for us – I think because of our performances, not because of the opponent. I believe at this moment our biggest opponent [is] ourselves. And then, of course, we have Everton with really good quality.

"They are not in a good situation but they changed managers, they are excited, they beat the leaders in the league and this shows they have the quality there in their team. It's a derby – they're going to fight for the result but we're going to fight as well.

"We have our supporters on our side and when we are together, we are stronger. We know how strong we are when we are together on the pitch and with the crowd supporting us. That's what we need to do and that's what we need to be on Monday."

Alisson also told liverpoolfc.com of the home crowd's importance: "We always needed them when we were in a good shape. Or when we are in a not-so-good shape, we always need them to push ourselves. We lived so many great moments in the last two, three, four years together. We built something here – trust.

"We achieved so many things together with the supporters, and now is not different. It's just a different target, different achievements but we're going to need them, for sure, to turn around our situation and to hopefully live better moments from now."
