It's the 202nd Merseyside derby at Goodison Park and Liverpool hope to continue their good form against an Everton side who have lost their last two matches 4-0.
A Milan Baros inspired Aston Villa saw them beat the Blues 4-0 on Boxing Day with the former Reds striker scoring twice. In the previous game Bolton beat Everton 4-0 at Goodison Park and in the previous game West Ham won there 2-1.
Last season at Goodison a Lee Carsley goal gave Everton a 1-0 win but Liverpool responded well in the return game at Anfield with a brilliant performance and a 2-1 win, courtesy of goals from Steven Gerrard and Luis Garcia.
In League meetings we are at number 173 today for this derby and the Reds lead those wins by 63-55.
Liverpool are on a great run of form winning eight successive Premiership games and equalling a club record for successive league clean sheets which dates back to 1923.
Liverpool players Pepe Reina, Peter Crouch and Momo Sissoko (who was suspended for the game against Newcastle) should make their Merseyside derby debuts.
