Derby build up thread

[Furey1878]

Need to score 3 to win I think.

I think the rules are that we just have to score more than the opposition team to win, but I could be wrong

Nah but seriously, I don't think it'll be as high scoring as the Goodison derby.

Everton have gone six Premier League matches without a win against Liverpool, although the last three meetings have all been drawn.
The Merseyside derby has produced 20 red cards in the Premier League, more than other fixture in the division.

Liverpool

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League home matches, only dropping points in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa last time out. They have scored at least twice in each of those games, and managed three goals or more in six of them.
The Reds have scored a league-high 64% of their goals this season in the first half.
Luis Suarez needs one goal to match his 2012-13 tally of 23.
Steven Gerrard has scored seven Premier League goals against Everton, the most by any player in Merseyside derbies.

Everton

The Toffees are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away matches (W3, D4), their best streak since an eight-match run (W2, D6) between September and December 2010.
They have conceded 11 goals in away matches - the joint-fewest in the league, alongside Chelsea.
Roberto Martinez could earn his 100th league win as a manager. It would be his 12th Premier League victory with Everton, the most he has achieved in a single season in the top flight.
Nine-goal top scorer Romelu Lukaku has only scored once in his last nine league matches, and none of his last six away appearances. He has scored four goals in four Premier League appearances against Liverpool.
Phil Jagielka could make his 200th Premier League appearance for Everton.

Liverpool unbeaten in last eight at home and Everton unbeaten in last seven away.

I think this where they say "somethings gotta give".

They may also say 'draw'!

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Although i'm slightly nervous, i honestly don't think i've gone into an away derby feeling so confident!! COYB!!!

People never learn
Where Everton are concerned, confidence = kiss of death

Not so.

A draw preserves both recent trends.

[Big Doug]

[when i score we riot]

This is pretty amazing:

Roberto Martinez could earn his 100th league win as a manager. It would be his 12th Premier League victory with Everton, the most he has achieved in a single season in the top flight.
