Everton host Liverpool in the Merseyside derby later today and the Blues will be looking to end their poor record against Liverpool with a win at Goodison Park this afternoon.
The Reds are struggling with injury issues right now and they are likely to rest several key players keeping the Champions League game against City in mind. This could be a great opportunity for the hosts to get one over their rivals.
Allardyce’s men have been inconsistent all season but they will be motivated for this game. The hosts are without a win in the last 16 Merseyside derbies in all competitions and the home fans will be expecting a big performance here.
