Merseyside Derby: Liverpool vs Everton: match preview, team news, prediction
Liverpool vs Everton which is popularly known as the Merseyside derby is one of the most intense and passionate derbies in English football.
This fixture is highly anticipated among the fans and neutrals following how the first leg ended between both sides at Goodison park. The game was highlighted by James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser for Everton in February which was the last derby in their old stadium.
This second leg is more of a battle of supremacy between both aides as it more than just where they both are on the Premier league table.
