Ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Everton tomorrow in the Merseyside Derby, we’ve drawn up our five most memorable wins against the Blues at Anfield.
Everton have not won at this ground since September 1999 – that day a 19-year old Steven Gerrard was dismissed along with Sander Westerveld. Let’s not forget Ben Woodburn wasn’t even born then, either.
Saturday’s derby will promise to be as intense as ever. With Liverpool currently in pole position to seal the final and coveted top four spot this season, they will be looking to increase their stranglehold in 4th place.
Everton will also be striving for European football in Europe’s second premier competition next season. The winner in this anticipated derby will have to be fancied to achieve their respective ambitions come May.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to savour a “special” derby atmosphere – which never disappoints in terms of the decibels. He also went on to say that “there are not too many other cities around the world with two clubs of this size and importance”.
Whether you’re a Red or a Blue, you can’t find a reason to disagree with the German’s comments. Blood, sweat, passion and tears will be on show tomorrow – ahead of the encounter we’ve selected our memorable clashes with Everton in the past.
