Liverpool v Everton: Can Ancelotti's side finally end their Anfield hoodoo after 22 years of pain?

Liverpool have dominated proceedings against Merseyside rivals Everton in the two most recent decades, but the latest Premier League instalment of the derby could throw up the most thrilling encounter between the two sides for years. Everton have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield since a 1-0 win against their rivals in 1999 Kevin Campbell was the hero that day but they have not won there in the next 20 attempts However, the two sides are separated by just three points ahead of Saturday's game, with Liverpool currently sat in sixth on 40 points and on a three-match losing streak in the league, while Everton sit one place below and have already won at Tottenham and Leicester and drawn with Manchester United at Old Trafford this season. Seven of Everton's 11 league wins this season have come away from Goodison Park As a matter of fact, only the current top three - the two Manchester clubs and Leicester - have claimed more points on the road than the Toffees' 23, and it has stood them in good stead in qualifying for Europe next season. Having played one more game at home, Everton have faced a total of 169 shots, but that figure decreases by 40 when looking at Ancelotti's sides overall total away from home. All 20 Premier League sides' away records so far this season, with Everton currently in fourth That is not to say Ancelotti lacks technically-gifted midfielders in the middle of the park, with Andre Gomes and James Rodriguez leading the way for the club in that sense and contributing to an average passing accuracy in the low 80s.
