Everton F.C. vs. Liverpool F.C.
2014-2015 Premier League, 7 Feb. 2015 at 17:30 GMT (12:30pm US EST) at Goodison Park

Quote:
 
The 224th Merseyside derby sees Liverpool head to Goodison Park to meet Everton in search of a fourth consecutive Barclays Premier League victory. Brendan Rodgers' men have beaten Sunderland, Aston Villa and West Ham United without conceding a goal in their previous three league outings. They also booked dramatic progress to the FA Cup fifth round with a stunning late comeback to overcome Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday evening.

Earlier this season, the Reds drew 1-1 with the Blues at Anfield, while last season's corresponding encounter was a thrilling 3-3 result.

Madness - Our House

NBCSN, in the runup to this weekend's match, is using for their Merseyside Derby commerical and I couldn't help but think that if this song doesn't encapsulate this derby in some way, what does?

BBC Sport: Liverpool Captain Ready For Everton Banter

Posted Image
Quote:
 
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard does not expect to get a fond farewell from Everton's supporters when he plays in his final league Merseyside derby. Gerrard, 34, has been a target for Everton fans for many years and thinks there will be little change at Goodison Park on Saturday (17:30 GMT). He said: "I doubt it very much. I love the banter with Everton fans. It's what it's all about. It's about rivalries.
"I don't mind it at all. Bring it on, as far as I'm concerned." Gerrard will end his Liverpool career at the end of the season before a move to MLS side LA Galaxy.

Although this will be his final Premier League appearance against Everton, he could still face Roberto Martinez's side in the Europa League with both Merseyside teams having the first leg of their last 32 ties on 19 February. Only Ian Rush has scored more goals for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby than Gerrard, who has netted 10 times in 32 appearances against Everton - including the Reds' goal in a 1-1 draw at Anfield in September.

And he hopes to sign off on a high by extending Liverpool's unbeaten nine-match run in the fixture.
Gerrard added on Liverpool FC TV: "It will be my last derby and it will be someone else's turn to be in the spotlight.

"I love playing against Everton. I've got friends and family members who are big Blues and it's all about the bragging rights in the city. It's a bit different from a normal league game, but I'm looking forward to that one and hopefully I can add to my good derby record."

Everton manager Martinez hopes the spotlight will be on his team rather than Gerrard, as they look to build on last Saturday's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace - their first victory in nine games. Martinez said: "When we play the Merseyside derby at Goodison, we want it to be our Merseyside derby and that's the only thing we are looking at. As a football club, we have been in a period when we haven't been enjoying the results that we wanted, so we will look forward to it being our Merseyside derby."

MOTD's Steve Wilson at Goodison Park
Everton v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)
Quote:
 
"The last thing Steven Gerrard will want to do over his final four months in English football is go on some kind of extended farewell tour, especially as he is usually greeted by that song at some point when playing away from Anfield.
"But it's hardly likely to escape people's notice that this will be his last Merseyside derby before moving to Los Angeles.
"Gerrard's ninth career club game was the derby - he played at right-back - and his 701st will be the derby. In between there have been 31 more games against the Blues, with 10 goals and two red cards."

Former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks, BBC Final Score
Quote:
 
"Rodgers has found a formula for his squad"

"Brendan Rodgers has found a formula for his squad of players. And now he has Raheem Sterling scoring goals and Daniel Sturridge back. Where could Liverpool end up? If they can get three points against Everton then it puts Roberto Martinez under a lot of pressure. But you cannot discount Everton. Don't underestimate them. They are very professional and have dug out results in recent weeks. If I'm honest, I think it'll be a draw today."

It's not that friendly
Everton v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)
Quote:
 
It was once called the "friendly derby" but Everton and Liverpool fans are being warned by police that they cannot sit together tonight. Merseyside Police took legal action to try to bring forward the kick-off time but the application was withdrawn after Everton agreed to increase segregation for the match, which traditionally sees rival supporters sit together.
Police have threatened to eject anyone found breaking the rule. The move marks a significant change in the force's attitude to the Merseyside derby.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Goodison
Quote:
 
"Plenty of focus on Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in his final Premier League Merseyside derby - but some interesting team news as well. Everton have been hit by a real blow, with Leighton Baines sidelined by injury. Bryan Oviedo comes in but there is good news with the return of James McCarthy after a long-term hamstring injury.
"Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers makes the bold selection of 19-year-old attacker Jordon Ibe. The youngster, a big success on loan at Derby County this season, comes in for Lazar Markovic
."

Everton v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)

Everton boss Roberto Martinez: "I think everyone benefits when a club is able to bring in a player of the pedigree of someone like Aaron Lennon. You can see that everyone in the dressing room now has a spring in their step. He's a player who's put a smile on the faces of all the other players. Not that he smiled in his photos when he joined us! That's something I blame the photographer for, by the way."


Quote:
 
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "I can only talk about our momentum, not Everton's. We're playing well and the balance of the team is really good. I'm happy with how it's going now, considering where we were earlier in the season. But in these games form can go out of the window, because you play with a different sort of emotion. But at the moment, as a team we are operating at a really good level."
