Marco Silva has responded to Jurgen Klopp's claim that the Merseyside derby is 'a kind of World Cup final' for Everton by pointing out how Liverpool celebrated their late winner in the last one.
Reds boss Klopp was quoted by a number of national newspapers last week as saying ahead of his side visiting Goodison Park on Sunday: 'We all know for them, it's a kind of World Cup final.'
The last meeting at Anfield on December 2 saw the hosts win 1-0, with Divock Origi punishing a mistake by Jordan Pickford by heading home in stoppage time and Klopp running on to the pitch to celebrate with Alisson Becker.
