(Reuters) - A clash against champions Liverpool has come at the right time for Premier League leaders Everton, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday, as they look to end a decade-long winless drought in the Merseyside derby.
Everton have been rejuvenated under Ancelotti and they sit top of the standings with a 100% record and are the only Premier League club to win every game in all competitions since the new season began last month.
"I think it will be good for us to have this kind of test. One of the best teams in England for sure," Ancelotti told reporters."They were the best last season. It's a fantastic challenge, a good test for us. Although Liverpool were thrashed 7-2 in their last outing against Aston Villa, Ancelotti said that result would have no bearing on how they play this weekend.
"This will be the opponent we play tomorrow, so we have to pay attention. We have to be confident to be able to show our quality."
