On Saturday, August 3, at 2:30 p.m. live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1, the score of the match of the 6th stage of the English championship “Everton” – “Liverpool” will take place.
Everton v Liverpool or the ‘Merseyside derby’ is the most anticipated event in the city, shared by two traditional teams.
Everton Football Club was founded in 1878, and in 1882 it moved to Anfield, where it even celebrated the title at the end of the 1890-1891 season.
The then manager of Everton, John Holding, was also the owner of the Anfield stadium.
Disagreements between him and other board members led to Everton being evicted in 1892 and moved to what is now Goodison Park, not two kilometers from Anfield.
Left without a team, John Holding founded a new football club. Although he wanted the team name to be Everton Athletic, the FA banned it, so the new club was named Liverpool.
The first ever head-to-head meeting between Everton and Liverpool took place on 13 October 1894 at Goodison Park, with the home side winning 3-0.
Over time, the meeting between the two teams has had several names: the “City of Liverpool Derby”, the “Lancaster Derby” and finally the “Merseyside Derby”, which takes on the official name of the region crossed by the River Mersey. .
Everton approach the city derby with just three points and no wins in the first five rounds, and Frank Lampard’s chair is starting to shake more and more.
Actually, the “candies” were close to relegation last season and did not make spectacular transfers in the summer: Richarlison went to Tottenham for 58 million euros, and James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil came from Burnley, which was relegated, plus Ruben. Vinagre, on loan from Sporting Lisbon.
Liverpool started the season with the Community Shield trophy after a brilliant 3-1 win over champions Manchester City, but then Jurgen Klopp’s side made a mistake in the league (eight points from five games, the last one against ” Newcastle United” at home, in extensions).
The good news for the Cormorants is that striker Darwin Nunez, who was brought in from Benfica Lisbon for €75m (plus a further €25m in bonuses), will return after a three-stage ban in place of Sadio Mane.
Liverpool won both matches against Everton last season, 4-1 at Goodison Park and 2-0 at Anfield.
