Everton will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 45 points behind Liverpool.
It’s called the Merseyside Derby whenever these two teams meet, as both come from Liverpool in the Merseyside area in North West England. It's the longest running top level derby in England, as the teams have met every year since the 1962-63 season. The clubs are located very close to each other in the city of Liverpool and the fans rarely use violence each other. On the pitch the temperature is high and this derby is known for its many red cards.
Everton and Liverpool should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
