Coutinho, who is away on international duty with Brazil, said he was concentrating only on Liverpool's progress.
"I don't think about (Everton's form) or worry about that," Coutinho told the reporters. "We will be ready. The derby is a very special match for everyone, the fans and the players."
Liverpool are unbeaten in Merseyside encounters since 2010 but will face a Ronald Koeman side that have picked up 23 of 30 points since the turn of the year.
Coutinho acknowledged Everton's recent progress and said it would mean a lot more to the fans if Liverpool could find a way to win the derby.
"We know what it means... this time it is even more because Everton have improved so much in recent weeks," he added.
"We know it won't be easy but we know we have to win, for our fans, for our morale and for everybody."
Liverpool have lost just one out of their 14 league games at Anfield this season, scoring 36 goals and conceding 13 in the process.
