Liverpool vs Everton Merseyside Derby Match Preview (13/03/2012)

Everton head to Anfield in relatively high spirits after victory over Champions League chasing Tottenham Hotspur and will fancy their chances in what promises to be a tightly fought encounter.

Everton will only really be without Darron Gibson and will be boosted by the return of South African midfielder Steven Pienaar.

Nikica Jelavić looks to have come in and broke his scoring duck at the right time for Everton fans and let’s hope that he can bang one or two in against them loveable reds in the derby this Tuesday night.

Sadly Liverpool thoroughly deserved their win at Goodison Park earlier in the season but here’s hoping that the result this time will be much closer. It’s been too long since Kevin Campbell’s strike last gave Everton the 3 points away at Anfield perhaps too long!

Going to Anfield is always tough and there is always that temptation to shut up shop and hope Liverpool won’t brake through which with the likes of Gerrard seems inconceivable. This isn’t the best Liverpool side and it’s by no means the worst but I don’t see any reason why we can’t cautiously take our game to Liverpool a bit more this time.

Everton will be backed by just under 3,000 fans officially at Anfield and at £48 a ticket lets hope Everton make it worth our while!
