The long-awaited Merseyside derby is finally set to take place on Wednesday night, as Everton hosts Liverpool in a high-stakes Premier League showdown.
Originally scheduled for December, the match was postponed due to Storm Darragh’s extreme weather.
This game carries extra significance as it marks the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Everton will be eager to make history by securing a victory and, in the process, potentially damaging Liverpool’s title hopes.
Both sides come into this match following FA Cup exits. Liverpool suffered a stunning defeat to Plymouth, while Everton’s loss to Bournemouth was less surprising.
However, under David Moyes, the Toffees have shown improvement, winning three consecutive league matches and moving nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Liverpool, meanwhile, sits comfortably at the top of the table, holding a six-point lead. With this game being their match in hand, a win would extend their advantage to nine points, making them even stronger title contenders.
