The 205th Merseyside derby sees the old foes meet at Anfield and this year there's an extra air of competition, as the local rivals fight for a Champions League qualifying position.
The Toffees are striving to better their UEFA Cup campaign this season with a place among Europe's elite in 2008/09. Alternatively, Liverpool are facing the possibility of failing to qualify for the first time since 2003. An own goal for Sami Hyypia gave Everton the lead in the October fixture, but Dirk Kuyt saved the Reds' blushes with a brace in the second half, both goals coming from the penalty spot. Four points went to the blue side of the city from last season's games. Can Rafa Benitez's men take the full six-point haul as payback this term?
