Will the tears of victory be blue or red on Merseyside?
The Merseyside derby is the longest currently running top-flight derby in England, having been played at that level every season since 1962/63. With so many families and friends supporting both clubs, it is not uncommon to see Evertonians and Liverpudlians sitting together during the derby.
But who will win the 2012/13 derby?
Everton have only won once in the last 6 head-to-heads with Liverpool. However, with Everton residing comfortably in 4th place and having not lost a home game this season, can 12th place Liverpool bring back a victory?
Everton
- Average 17 shots per game
- Average 9.38 shots on target per game
- Fellaini averages 4.3 shots per game
- Baines makes 4.1 key passes per game
- Have scored 4 goals from set pieces
Liverpool
- Suarez averages 6.3 shots per game
- Average 8.00 shots on target per game
- Allen has a pass success rate of 92.9%
- Have scored 7 goals from open play
- Average 492 short passes per game
Statistically Liverpool have a better defense but will it be able to stand up to Everton’s attacking power this weekend?
