If the past is anything to go by, todays Merseyside derby should be a fascinating encounter. To mark the occasion, we have chosen 5 of the very best encounters from over the years between the Premier League neighbours.
#1 Everton 3-0 Liverpool - 2006/2007
Following a great start to the Premier League campaign, manager David Moyes looked to make it 3 wins out of 4 against archrivals Liverpool in the 204th Merseyside derby.
They did win, with the blues recording their biggest victory over Liverpool in over 42 years and ending Liverpool’s 17 match unbeaten run since march.
The Toffees went about their game with great determination, ruthless finishing and brilliant defensive organization to oust the ex champions league winners. Tim Cahill put the blues in front in the 23rd minute. Arteta clipped in a great ball from the right hand side to Lee Carsley, who flicked it into the path of a totally unmarked Cahill to slide it into the net.
Andrew Johson added Everton’s second goal 12 minutes later, coolly taking advantage of Jamie Carragher’s mistake as Liverpool’s defense struggled.
Liverpool grew in confidence after that, but Johnson once again was on hand to take advantage of Pepe Reina’s horrendous error, heading home from 6 inches out to complete a resounding 3-0 win.
