Simon Mignolet says Liverpool must "deliver the total package" against Everton if they are to maintain their winning record in the Merseyside derby.
Everton have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield since 1999 and the Reds are hoping to extend that record when they host their neighbours on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
The Toffees have shown signs of improvement under new manager Sam Allardyce after a difficult start to the campaign and although Liverpool head into the match on the back of a 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow, Mignolet believes the Reds will have to be at their very best to win on Derby Day.
"We are in a good moment. We had a good result in the week but that was only about getting ourselves qualified," he said.
"We scored five goals away from home against Brighton and seven against Spartak but this weekend it will be a totally different game.
"We have to prove ourselves again to try to win the derby. We've always had good results at home against Everton but now the fact Sam Allardyce has just arrived means it will be a different fixture.
"I think Sam will be set up to make it very difficult - he knows how important the derby will be - so it will be a different fixture from a couple of weeks ago.
"We have to deliver the total package again to make sure we score goals like we are at the moment but at the other end be solid at the back."
