Jordan Henderson ready for "fantastic" Merseyside derby

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is expecting a "brilliant atmosphere" for the Merseyside derby this weekend.

The England international is yet to lose a game against Everton in Liverpool colours as Goodison Park prepares to host the first derby of the season.

"The derbies are always fantastic games to play in," Henderson told the Liverpool Echo.

"They've gone pretty well for me so far and hopefully that will continue. Both sets of fans are very passionate and that always makes for a brilliant atmosphere."

Liverpool currently sit three points above Everton in the Premier League table.
