From the moment they beat Manchester United on the opening weekend, the Toffees have meant business. They have an excellent, well drilled starting eleven and despite drawing their last two, they go into this one in good spirits.
Everton are due a win in this fixture too as they have only emerged victorious once since 2006. Then, in last year’s two Merseyside derbies, Liverpool scored five and Everton failed to respond.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will hope to keep up this impressive record in his first local derby against Everton. If some fans are still not convinced by his methods, a victory over Everton would certainly help matters.
There are signs of improvement for the Reds too. They have won their last two games 1-0 and have only lost one of their last five games in the league. However, they still need to raise their game and 12th in the table isn’t anywhere near good enough for a club of their stature.
Overall, this should be a cracking match and each team will want their big players to step up and be counted, however David Moyes will have to do without his two main playmakers in midfield, as Steven Pienaar is suspended and Marouane Fellaini is struggling with a knock.
Everton will turn to the likes of Nikica Jelavic, while for Liverpool it is all about Steven Gerrard and his leadership.
The Liverpool captain has a superb goalscoring record in these games and at 9/1 with Bet365 to find the net is surely the value bet.
This fixture is all about new heroes being created too, and we should be set for a cracking encounter. It is a very special match in English football and it gets underway from 1.30pm on Sunday afternoon.
