Slots insists he will keep cool in special Merseyside DerbyArne Slot has insisted he will keep his cool during a special first Merseyside Derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium.Liverpool travel to Everton for the first-ever derby fixture at the new home of their city rivals.The Reds are aiming to end a three-game winless run in away derbies, with last seasons clash at Goodison Park ending in a dramatic draw.Slot was sent off in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw, in which James Tarkowski thundered in a 98th-minute equaliser for Everton. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were also sent off for clashing at full-time, with Liverpool incensed by the decision to allow the goal to stand.The visitors felt Tarkowskis leveller should have been ruled out for a push in the build-up and Slot insists it was the officiating and not emotionally-charged atmosphere which led to his dismissal.Its always a very special game. They are in a very good place at the moment, Slot told the media on Friday.Its always special but maybe you can add one or two percent two it because its the first game at the new stadium.The crowd didnt affect me last season, the refereeing decisions affected me. Last season was my first Merseyside derby. I think their fans will be loud, as will ours.I think it is not the stadium in itself but the players which make the difference. The fans can help for sure.Read Hes not ready for 90 minutes Slot urges patience with Isak returnSee more Fantasy Premier League: Five players to target for FPL Double Gameweek 33Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube
