Everton host Liverpool on Wednesday at Goodison Park in a Merseyside derby that could have an impact on both sides of the table.
Here are the top five Merseyside derbies:
5.) Liverpool 0-2 Everton (February 2021)
Prior to this match Everton had last won a game at Anfield in 1999 which was 22 years prior.
It also ended an 11 year wait for a victory against Liverpool.
Prior to the match Liverpool’s defence was hampered with injury with Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all injured.
Ex Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti also boasted a superior winning record over Jurgen Klopp defeating the German four times.
Richarlison had Everton 1-0 after three minutes and a late Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty sealed the historic win.
Although, there was no crowd as the game took place during the Covid 19 pandemic.
4.) Liverpool 1-0 Everton (December 2018)
Deep into stoppage time Liverpool forward Divock Origi scored an iconic last-minute winner to break a resilient Everton defence.
Virgil Van Dijk struck an ill volley that hit the crossbar and rebounded back into the box for Origi to hit.
Everton had a plan to defend the entire game and the game was not particularly rememberable apart from the memorable winner.
