Former Everton defender Martin Keown insists they're capable of getting a result at Liverpool today.

Keown says Blues manager Sean Dyche is capable of masterminding a smash-and-grab performance.

He told the Daily Mail: "I went there with Arsenal, with Brighton, with Aston Villa, but never is it noisier than when you walk out wearing the blue of the enemy that is Everton.

"However, a word of warning for those expecting an easy win for Liverpool today: these derby days can be a great leveller. Even the most elite player can let his heart rule his head and by full-time, you can find yourself celebrating a win that nobody else thought was possible.

"Only Tottenham have managed more shots than Everton this season, a good chunk of them coming from counter-attacks. That is how the visitors will look to hurt Liverpool.

"Everton have only won two of their 12 Premier League away games under Dyche, but in those eye-catching victories, it was a countering approach which inflicted 5-1 and 3-1 defeats on teams that like to keep the ball in Brighton and Brentford."
