Big match this weekend, getting butterflies already! These things are always hard to predict as the form book usually goes out of the window in the crazed, white hot atmosphere British footballs greatest match . This one looks closer then ever too, as Everton are actually quite good this year and both teams are fighting for the vital 4th spot in the league.
Liverpool will have to do without Macarano who is banned and injury worries over the excellent Torres. Both players will be a big loss to Benethez who may have to tinker with his team a bit more then usual (amazingly i don't think Liverpool have another holding midfielder like Mascarano in their squad)! Moyes has some headaches of his own as the equally important Cahill is rumoured to be out for the rest of the season and Pineer, Yobo and Andy Johnson all have various knocks and illnesses.
Everton have looked tired the last couple of weeks as the effects of the premierships smallest squad and a long season in Europe finally looks like taking it's toll. Liverpool, though, have been inconsistent all season and are coming off the back of a humiliating 3-0 loss to their other big rivals Man United. Do Everton want it more? Can Liverpool raise their game when they really need to? I'm going for a 1-1 draw! |

| I was expecting all the Liverpool fans to be gloating after that! It pains me to say it but Liverpool deserved their win. Everton just wern't up to it when it came to the crunch. |
