DAVID WEIR has warned Liverpool they will be facing a different Everton on Saturday to the one that succumbed to derby defeat in December.
Rafael Benitez's side sauntered to a 3-1 triumph at Good-ison over Christmas against a home side struggling for form and hovering above the relegation zone.
Everton's fortunes have undergone a transformation since that evening, winning eight, drawing two and losing just one of their next 11 Premiership games.
That run has moved David Moyes's side into the top half of the table and given them realistic hope of a challenge for UEFA Cup qualification.
And club skipper Weir insists Everton, who have scored nine goals in their last three games, will be a much tougher proposition when they visit Anfield for the 203rd Merseyside derby at the weekend.
"We are on a decent run," said the Scotland international.
"We have scored a few goals in the last couple of games and things are quite buoyant right now.
"There are things we still need to work on, we are by no means the finished article, but there are a lot of positives.
