ANFELD is hosting the 246th Merseyside derby on Wednesday evening when the leaders of the Premier League Liverpool compete against bitter rival Everton.
It was an unforgettable occasion when these two locked horns last time James Tarkowski made compensatory compensation to ensure that the Toffees in the last derby in Goodison Park would not endure any defeat. The dramatic late scenes triggered the chaos after the match when Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucore were sent after the final whistle, while the normally stoic Arne slot was rejected for the prerequisite with Michael Oliver.
In short, the upcoming affair could be a bit angry.
A late Jake O’Brien goal against West Ham meant that Everton extended her unbeaten Premier League run to nine games before the break, while Liverpool needed a reset after a hard week in which they left the Champions League and lost a reset in the final of the Carabao Cup against Newcastle.
Nevertheless, this reds outfit does not need exactly with violins and roses. They enter 12 points with nine games with nine games in the middle of the week.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold made a lot of headlines over the break, but we have to wait a little to see how Anfield gets her local star because he is out of operation due to an ankle injury.
In the brighter perspective, Conor Bradley, MP Alexander-Arnold, is back in training and could play a role on Wednesday evening. However, a start is unlikely, and if Joe Gomez was still, Jarell Quansah will probably play in the right -back.
Alisson will start when he carries out a concussion test, and Ryan Gravenberch is also suitable for the red. He will probably reunite with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the middle of the park.
The slot gave a lot of start before the break, and the Portuguese international was able to build up the nod again in view of the recent difficulties by Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool predicted the line-up against Everton (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Quansah, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Jota.
Everton received a few remarkable boosts before the derby, and Iliman Ndiaye, who has been out of service since the 2-2 draw in Goodison and returned to training together with Dwight McNeil.
McNeil was a key figure under Sean Dyche, but still has to appear for Moyes.
The Toffees should also have Vitalii Mykolenko available for the game on Wednesday after he had quickly recovered from a thigh injury in the international service. While the competition for Ndiaye and McNeil can arrive a little early, Mykolenko is ready to start on the left -back.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala are the only players who were injured.
Everton predicted the line-up against Liverpool (4-4-1-1): Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz; Doucore; Beto.
In her meeting in February, Everton was able to stimulate Liverpool, but they were still dependent on an excellent Tarkowski strike in death to earn a point.
The red looked as if they were pushing a little before the break, and they were completely overwhelmed by Newcastle’s intensity in Wembley, but they should refresh the last route of the season. While they were not beaten in the previous derby, the Slot site will be desperate to bring one over their local rivals and get closer to the title.
Everton was excellent under Moyes, but rarely they appear in Anfield.
