Martin O’Neill furious at Everton’s Ronald Koeman over James McCarthy via The Guardian

• Ireland manager labels Everton coach ‘master tactician of blame game’
• Midfielder returned after international duty with a hamstring injury
Martin O’Neill has hit back over the Republic of Ireland’s handling of James McCarthy, labelling Ronald Koeman a “master tactician of the blame game”. O’Neill came under attack from the Everton manager after the midfielder returned to Merseyside injured following the international break and Koeman accused the Ireland coach of “not protecting the player”.

However, O’Neill released a statement which read: “The Everton manager, master tactician of the blame game, has struck out in his comments today, criticising both myself and James McCarthy. Perhaps a review of Everton’s pre-season programme might provide some enlightenment.”

Joel Robles confident Everton will end Liverpool’s Anfield derby dominance via The Guardian

Joel Robles was on the receiving end of a four-goal hammering at Liverpool last season but insists the time is right for Everton to win at Anfield for the first time since 1999

Joel Robles is preaching positivity before the 228th Merseyside derby. The Spanish goalkeeper claims Everton are feeling positive nine times in the course of a 12-minute interview and strays from the mantra only once when declaring that they “need to kill” Liverpool. Once is enough.

It is an ill-advised comment, especially considering Everton have had twice as many players sent off in the derby as their rivals – 18 to Liverpool’s nine – and one that perhaps partly explains their woeful record in the fixture in the 21st century. Emotion has often got the better of Everton on derby day and Anfield appears to generate added tension.

Everton’s momentum gives Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp his most testing derby yet | Andy Hunter via The Guardian

Liverpool manager insists he feels no pressure as he looks to extend winning run against Everton in a match for which both sides’ preparations have been jolted
Jürgen Klopp has said Liverpool do not feel under pressure against Everton despite describing Saturday’s Merseyside derby as the most important of his Anfield reign.

Klopp is the only manager in Liverpool’s history to win his first two derbies having overseen a 4-0 destruction of Roberto Martínez’s side last season and a 94th-minute victory at Goodison Park in December. “Maybe I’m a genius at understanding derbies because I didn’t need a second to understand the importance of this game,” he said. Since Sadio Mané’s stoppage-time goal at Goodison, however, Everton have closed the gap on Liverpool and enter the 228th Merseyside derby as the in-form team in the Premier League this year.

Liverpool v Everton: Premier League – live! via The Guardian


12.51am BST

Evertonians using recent history as their guide won’t fancy this one at all. The most recent Merseyside derby, played just before Christmas, was settled by a late Sadio Mané smash and grab. Everton’s last visit to Anfield was a four-goal humiliation in which they hardly touched the ball. They’ve not beaten Liverpool since Roy Hodgson was wedged in the away dugout at Goodison with a confused grin spread across his face: that was seven years ago. And they’ve not won on their arch rivals’ turf since the slap-happy days of Sander Westerveld and Franny Jeffers: Kevin Campbell’s winner was 18 years ago. Eighteen years!

And yet despite all that, there will be plenty of Evertonians who fancy this one very much. See, there’s a feelgood vibe emanating from Everton right now. Since defeat in the derby in December, they’ve lost just one league fixture in a dozen, and there’s no shame in getting beaten away at Spurs. They’re looking sharp up front: 17 goals in their last six matches. They’re keeping it tight at the back: four clean sheets in the last five. Romelu Lukaku is the Premier League’s hottest striker, while Ronald Koeman effortlessly exudes the sort of confidence and gravitas beyond Roberto Martinez’s wildest dreams. The kids look highly promising, Ross Barkley’s back on song, there’s money in the bank, and a fancy new £300m stadium in the pipeline. Best of all, the thing about long winless streaks … well, winless streaks have to end sometime, don’t they?
