Insights:
  • Liverpool have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Everton have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

It's no vacation for neither Liverpool nor Everton as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
