On Tuesday, Liverpool and Everton meet in the 222nd Merseyside derby.

In one of the true classic match-ups in English football, over the years the fixture has served up some footballing feasts.

From 11 goal thrillers, to replayed FA Cup finals and controversial celebrations - this is a game to get the pulse racing.

This latest game should be no different. Only earlier this season, the sides drew 3-3 at Goodison Park and hopes are high for a match as high in intensity and quality when they play at Anfield.

As well as local pride, the teams are both in contention for a top four finish this season, making the three points crucial to both sides.
