Tonight, Everton and Liverpool lock horns in the latest instalment of the Merseyside Derby.
Liverpool have struggled to gain any sort of form this season and seem to be getting worse with every week that passes by, while Everton have a newfound confidence under new manager Sean Dyche.
Everton's last game resulted in a 1-0 win over league leaders Arsenal, and for Liverpool a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderer's last week left the clubs in very different headspaces.
The game between the old rivals never fails to disappoint for drama and tonight's game promises to be another cracker.
