Wednesday night in the Premier League sees the latest instalment of the combustible Merseyside derby. Everton host Liverpool in what will be a typically tempestuous affair, with plenty on the line for both teams. Everton warmed up for the game with a vital, yet controversial, 2-0 win over relegation rivals Nottingham Forest. Those three points could be enough to ensure the Toffees’ remain in the Premier League this season. They now sit 16th in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone and with a game in hand.


Their rivals from across Stanley Park come into this fixture after an excellent 3-1 away win over Fulham at the weekend. That was Jurgen Klopp's team's second win on the road, following on from a 1-0 win in Bergamo over Atalanta a few days prior. That win moved the Reds second in the table on goal-difference to Arsenal, but third place Manchester City are just a point behind the top two, with a game in hand.
