When
Liverpool will face Everton in the 223rd Merseyside derby of all
time, there would be a chance of redemption, going forward and prove themselves
as serious contenders for the top 4 spot for both of the teams. In a rare
transfer window that came obviously before the season, both the Liverpool based
sides done well - - or seemed to - - and tomorrow will be a test of nerves, as
Everton who have been termed as the giant slayers after their performances for
the last year will take on a Liverpool side that has been catapulted again by
re-building approach.

time Everton defeated Liverpool at Anfield was 15 years ago from today in
1999-2000 season.
While
history hasn’t repeated itself much to the dismay of Liverpool fans in the
Premier League, Everton will be hoping that they put behind their back the
demons that have haunted them for so long every-time they visited the L-4 lane
at Anfield Road. And they might believe they have the best option in years as a
weakened, and probably a dismantled Liverpool side will look to host blues.
With 2 defeats in as many games for the reds, a 3rd one might prove to be
catastrophic for Liverpool Champions League ambitions next season.

time Everton defeated Liverpool was in 2012 season, Since then Liverpool have
won 4 drawing 4 as-well.
