The last time Liverpool played local rivals Everton in the Premier League, it turned out to be arguably the most entertaining Merseyside Derby in recent times. Just as in the 3-3 draw at Goodison Park in November, there seems to be little to choose from between the two sides.
Liverpool go into this game having negotiated the Christmas season with barely enough players to keep the squad afloat. Despite having no brought anyone into the side this transfer window, the likes of Daniel Sturridge and Joe Allen coming back into the side after injuries suffered in December would be a big boost to the squad. Everton, on the other hand, finished 2013 on the up – with impressive wins at Manchester United and Swansea. They have continued to score points against teams in the bottom half of the table and remain outside contenders for a spot in the Top 4.
Despite getting out of jail at home against Aston Villa last weekend, Liverpool go into this game sitting in 4th place with a total of 43 points. Everton had the benefit of playing on a Monday, but they failed to seize the opportunity to break into the Top 4 once again – instead, they sit 1 point behind Liverpool in 6th ahead of their visit to Anfield.
