Can Everton beat Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby?
Which child will be smiling after 90 minutes?
Both teams will be going into Sunday’s Merseyside Derby on the back of a pretty shocking run of form. Everton have won just one of the last seven, and are now dangling in that horrible mid/lower table area just above the dreaded relegation zone. And Liverpool haven’t had it much better, having not won a Premier League match since they “reignited their season” with a win over Man United.
Add to that the fact that Everton have only won two of their Premier League Merseyside Derbies at home in the last ten years, and that Liverpool have the infuriating knack of pulling out a winning performance at the right time, and things are looking pretty bleak for the Toffees.
Even so, the timing looks good for Everton, with Liverpool crashing out of Europe, Benitez showing tactical chinks in his armour with some weird substitutions, so might it be their turn to “reignite their season” with a big win over local rivals? Let us know with a vote and a comment.
