da apostebet: Derby day concludes with what is, quite simply, one of the biggest games of the season. Everton were good value for their 2-0 win when these two sides met earlier in the year, however the atmosphere for what will be Kenny Dalglish’s return to Anfield should be extraordinary.
da brdice: David Moyes has allowed Nigerian striker, Yakubu, to leave the club on loan for the rest of the season. Considering the lack of attacking options available to the Scot, such a move is a surprise, however it may be an indication that some added firepower could be added before the end of the window.
Everton won well at home against Spurs last time out, and a repeat performance against Liverpool could well be enough to secure all three points on Merseyside. The difficulty for Dalglish is that his squad has a real lack of quality running through it, and if any of the club’s key players are absent there is a frightening lack of menace or purpose.
Much has been made of a perceived lack of confidence in the Liverpool squad, however if the return of a club legend and a Merseyside derby aren’t enough to spark a revival, then Liverpool fans may be forced to consider a spring time scrap for survival.
Prediction: 1-0
