It is a fixture that has been hotly contested no less than 213 times. Liverpool have the upper hand historically, with 84 wins to Everton's 65, along with 64 draws. At Goodison Park, there is almost nothing between the two teams: Everton have won 39 at home, while Liverpool have taken full points 38 times with 28 stalemates. The Blues have scored 128 goals against the Reds at Goodison, conceding 132. Everton's home record derby in recent years leaves a lot to be desired: their neighbours have won eight of the last 10 when crossing Stanley Park.[LNB] This derby will have a special flavour however - and not for the best reasons. The 214th meeting between the two sides sees them both languishing at the wrong end of the top flight table. If the Blues fail to win, they could possibly slide into the relegation zone - where Liverpool currently are. All Everton fans will be hoping for a repeat of Graeme Sharp's piledriver in the 1984 Anfield derby - in October of that year - which sent the Reds crashing into the bottom three. Liverpool fans will be hoping to keep their good run at Goodison going.[LNB]See next page for the best derby goals in Red and Blue >>>>>>>
