Everton v LiverpoolKick-off: Wed Feb 4, 8.00pm; Goodison Park, LiverpoolTV: ITV1, ITV HD, Setanta Sports 2 (Scotland only)Radio: Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Merseyside [LNB]Touchline Duel [LNB]David Moyes v Rafael BenitezNever the best of friends anyway, familiarity over the last two weeks may have bred even more contempt. Benitez implied Everton were like Extremadura, the Spanish minnows where he cut his managerial teeth, while Moyes suggested Liverpool did not have the style or dignity of his team. [LNB]Pitch Battle[LNB]Tim Cahill v Martin SkrtelThe Australian's clever movement managed to outwit Liverpool's zonal marking system twice at Anfield and he is likely to present Everton's main threat again at Goodison Park. This time he may find himself man-marked by Skrtel, Liverpool's best header of the ball. [LNB]Talking Tactics[LNB]Liverpool will be hoping Everton at home are more expansive in their play. Benitez's side struggled to break down Moyes's 4-5-1 in the previous instalments but should Everton attack, they will leave spaces for the likes of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard to exploit. [LNB]Teams[LNB]Everton (probable, 4-5-1): Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines; Pienaar, Cahill, Neville, Fellaini, Arteta; AnichebeLiverpool (probable, 4-2-3-1): Reina; Carragher, Skrtel, Hyypia, Dossena; Mascherano, Alonso; Kuyt, Gerrard, Riera; Torres [LNB]
