Everton v Liverpool 12.45 BT Sport (Setanta Pack)

mike65

So then the first meeting of the Blue and Red finds both in pretty rude health in the PL table

6th 20 pts Everton 11 points from last 6,
2nd 23 pts Liverpool 13 points last 6

but form counts for nothing in a Derby game eh?

For Liverpool the main worry appears to be who will play at LB with Enrique under the knife today and will Sturridge be fit to play at all, never mind start. Evertons main goal threat Romalu Lukaku seems to have hit a bit of a wall having not scored a goal for anyone since the Villa game a month ago but you could never rule him out esp in a game like this. Liverpool have failed to score two times and lost both.

A win for the home side draws them level with Liverpool while a Liverpool win puts them top for a few hours at least.

2-0 to the redmen on Merseyside!

klose

Would be great to get a win given evertons form at home since the turn of the year but i think it will be a score draw.

SantryRed

Think this has 0-0 written all over it!

If you've got a smartphone then download the Citytalk 105.9 app and Bob's yer uncle.

Unless the thing you can't get out of is your uncle Bob's funeral in which case I apologise profusely.

Could really go any way.

1-1 would be my prediction

I think it will be a close 9-8 game myself. Hat-tricks all around.

So 2-2 then?

Lukaku would have been the type of player to almost guarantee a dodgy defensive performance from Liverpool in recent times but I think they have the personnel to cope a lot better this season.

1-2 for me and Everton's season to level out a bit after such a great start. Just can't see them keeping it going.

Hidalgo

1-1 I think
Or maybe 2-1 for Everton.

Gavlor

2-1 blues

I just think we have a stronger midfield


*providing Barkley starts ahead of osman

happyoutscan

Think it will be 2-0 Liverpool.

Cissohko not even on the bench....would have settled for Henderson at RB.

Lukaku to have a field day

klose

I can see what rodgers is trying to so here but not starting sakho is a big call imo.

Knex*

Worried.

passremarkable

at least we have a good options on the bench
tough game for allen to come back in too..we have no width all though..be interesting to see how we go

mav79

Going to be very narrow and congested with that line-up.

Knex*

Henderson and Coutinho will probably be pushed out wide, and Allen will be the AM, I feel. His job will be to press in the manner we saw Henderson do recently in the same position.

My two cents anyway.

Well that's a pretty irrelevant point now looking at the starting back 4.

Knex*

Sakho and Toure out will be a massive talking point if Liverpool don't win.

Even more so after Sakho performance for France the other day.

Rayne Wooney

Probably should have started Sahko, Lukaku must be raring to go

Not looking forward to this now after seeing that team. I'm genuinely worried
No Sakho makes me sad

DDC1990

Good interview with Bill Kenwright there, even from a Liverpool fans point of view.

Captured the excitement that comes with Derby game and spoke warmly about both sets of fans.

Good to see/hear.

Rayne Wooney

Probably going to be a lot more intense than usual derbies with all of the bodies in midfield

Agueroooo

Was worried before I seen the line up but less worried now.

game would have been won and lost in midfield no matter how much you shuffle the back four, but looking at our revamped midfield I can see us having plenty on the ball.

Suarez is gonna get a serious amount of supply so an early goal is critical and on the cards.

mike65

I have a scary picture of Brendan Rogers in a Leprechaun outfit which I will post if Liverpool win.

Hope Lukaku bangs a few in.

Gonna be fast paced stuff with Gerrard V Barry in midfield.
