Liverpool and Everton are set to battle it out in the 243rd Merseyside derby this weekend, with both sides heading into the game in a confident mood.
This fixture is heavily embedded in football culture in this country and we have seen so many great games, moments and players involved over the years.
Everyone has a favourite game or moment to call back on and, ahead of the derby, here at LiverpoolWorld we’ve decided to focus on the best 11 games since 1991.
1. Everton 3-3 Liverpool: 2013/14
Simply put, this was an incredible game of football. It saw the momentum switch from one side to the other and it saw a standout performance from a young Romelu Lukaku. There’s also an incredible miss from Joe Allen thrown in here for good measure that could (and should) have killed the game, but a late Daniel Sturridge goal salvaged a point after Everton had found a comeback themselves. Maybe it’s time to flick on the highlights again...
2. Everton 2-3 Liverpool: 2000/01
In what was an end-to-end epic, the game saw 12 bookings in what was a classic Merseyside derby. It was then decided in the dying minutes as Gary McAllister’s late free-kick secured a 3-2 victory at Goodison.
3. Everton 4-4 Liverpool: 1990/91
The FA Cup fifth-round replay was Kenny Dalglish’s final match as manager. Everton came back four times in what was an incredibly high-scoring affair. Everton then went onto win the replay.
4. Everton 2-2 Liverpool: 2012/13
The game which brought us the infamous Luis Suarez dive in front of David Moyes, it was Everton who had the last laugh as they came from 2-0 down to salvage a point. An exciting well-matched affair was brilliant to watch.
