Everton host Liverpool in the first-ever Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as both teams continue their push for European football next season.
For Liverpool, a poor season went from bad to worse, as they lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday night, to lose 4-0 on aggregate. They now have only the top five in the Premier League to play for, as they look to confirm their place in next season's Champions League.
Everton are currently eighth, five points behind Liverpool, who are fifth. A win is imperative for David Moyes's team to keep alive their faint hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. It has already been an impressive season for Moyes' men, but they will want to end it on a high, and there is no better way to begin the business end of the season than a win over their local rivals.
In the reverse fixture, Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield in September, in a game where first-half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike put LIverpool in command before Idrissa Gueye halved the lead early in the second half.
Here's everything you need to know about the match.
