Liverpool will travel to Goodison Park to take
on arch rivals Everton in what would be the
224th Merseyside Derby this coming Saturday.
The Reds have improved a lot since the turn
of the year, after starting off in a mediocre
way, following the departure of Luis Suarez.
Brendan Rodgers' side are currently 7th in the
league, having notched up 38 points from 23
games. The club are just 5 points adrift of
Manchester United (3rd) and only 4 points
away from Southampton (4th), which means
that the club are still in the race for a finish
in the top 4 this season.
On the other hand, Everton have not been
their usual self, with Roberto Martinez's side
failing to impress with their performances this
season. At present, the Toffees are 12th in the
league, having scored only 26 points from 23
games. Though they are unlikely to be pulled
into the relegation dogfight, they are far from
finishing anywhere near the European places
this season.
Just like every other Merseyside derby, this
one too is expected to be a heated affair.
The last time these two sides met in the
league was in September, when the game
ended 1-1 with Phil Jagielka equalising for
Everton deep in injury time.
Everton:
Everton did manage to scrape through with a
1-0 away win over Crystal Palace in their last
league match, but they have not even been
close to the standards that they set last
season. Their win over the Eagles was only
their second since November last year, and
that is counting their performance in all
competitions. In the league, since beating
West Ham United on November 22nd,
Martinez's men have managed to take just 9
points from a possible 33!
Nevertheless, derby day is always an extra
serious affair for clubs, and Everton will try to
make sure that they give their fans a reason
to cheer by edging past their local rivals.
Romelu Lukaku is the club's top scorer thus
far this season, having netted 10 times in all
competitions, from a rather extravagant 31
games.
Liverpool:
Liverpool, on the other hand, have had a
much better season so far, when compared
with the Toffees. The absence of Daniel
Sturridge due to injury, and the departure of
Luis Suarez in the summer, did make it
difficult to continue from where they had left
off last year and with the club's summer
signings flopping too, their position in the
league this season is largely due to the
performances of the young duo of Raheem
Sterling and Philippe Coutinho.
The side has shown a gradual improvement in
their performances, so much so that they
have been unbeaten in their last 6 matches in
the league, taking 16 points from a possible
18! And now, with the return of Sturridge, the
side look even more formidable, and are one
of the top contenders for European places this
season.
Form Guide:
Everton (WDLDD):
31st Jan, 2015: Crystal Palace 0-1 Everton
(Barclays Premier League)
20th Jan, 2015: Everton 0-0 West Brom
(Barclays Premier League)
14th Jan, 2015: West Ham (9) 2 - 2 (
Everton (FA Cup 3rd round replay)
10th Jan, 2015: Everton 1-1 Man City
(Barclays Premier League)
7th Jan, 2015: Everton 1-1 West Ham (FA
Cup 3rd round)
Liverpool (WWLDD):
5th Feb, 2015: Bolton 1-2 Liverpool (FA Cup
4th round replay)
31st Jan, 2015: Liverpool 2-0 West Ham
(Barclays Premier League)
27th Jan, 2015: Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
(Capital One Cup, semis-2nd leg)
24th Jan, 2015: Liverpool 0-0 Bolton (FA Cup
4th round)
20th Jan, 2015: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea
(Capital One Cup, semis-1st leg)
Likely XIs:
Everton (4-2-3-1): Robles, Coleman, Stones,
Jagielka, Baines, McCarthy/Besic, Barry,
McGeady, Naismith, Mirallas, Lukaku
The Toffees will have James McCarthy
available for selection following his
recuperation from his hamstring injury. It will
be interesting to see whether he does start
the game with him, or decides to go along
with Muhamed Besic. Also, Martinez has new
signing Aaron Lennon available for the match,
but he may not provide him with his debut by
starting him in such a high-profile encounter
and putting him under immense pressure.
Having said that, it is quite possible that the
boss may bring on the player later in the
game.
Additionally, the boss has also revealed that
Tim Howard has been advised to rest for
another week before making a comeback,
which means that Joel Robles will continue to
keep goal for the hosts.
Liverpool (3-4-1-2): Mignolet, Can, Skrtel,
Sakho, Henderson, Gerrard, Moreno, Lallana,
Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge
The Reds are without Lazar Markovic, with
the player being out with a back injury, which
means the manager will miss his pace on one
of the wings. However, it is believed that
Rodgers may finally provide star forward
Daniel Sturridge with a chance to start the
game, forming a partnership with Raheem
Sterling in the attacking third. Philippe
Coutinho is expected to continue in his
playmaking role, and the return of Sturridge
could mean either a change in formation back
to what worked so well last year, or Sterling
going out wide. Meanwhile, Liverpool are
expected to start with 3 defenders at the back
– a formation which has so far gone down
well with the team.
Match Prediction: Everton may be going
through a mediocre patch, but games against
Liverpool always manage to elicit the best
out of the team. Hence, it is expected that the
Toffees would provide genuine competition to
the Reds. However, Brendan Rodgers' side are
more composed and stable right now, which
means that they will be tough opponents to
deal with, despite playing away from home.
For the hosts, Romelu Lukaku is capable of
springing surprises, and the Liverpool
defenders will need to keep him in check. On
the other hand, the trio of Sturridge, Sterling
and Coutinho are known for their prowess in
the attacking third, and fans would hope that
they work their magic for the Reds.
Score Prediction: Everton 1-2 Liverpool

This is Merseyside derby**************
Tottenham's Lennon is on the verge of signing
for Everton on loan until the end of the season
after snubbing a transfer to Stoke City.
He would be Roberto Martinez's biggest
deadline day scoop and could go straight into
the Toffees squad for Saturday's clash at
Goodison Park.
And Thompson insists Lennon has a point to
prove heading into the clash.
"It's a good signing for Everton, especially
with the derby coming on Saturday,"
Thompson told Sky Sports News HQ .
"He needed to get away, but there is always
the question with him of does he have the
final delivery?"
Lennon was all set to join Hull a few days ago
but the Humberside club revealed earlier
today they had no chance of singing for
England international.
His odds plummeted on his signing for
Everton this afternoon and he is now
reportedly heading to Liverpool to agree terms
with the Toffees.
