History of the Liverpool v Everton fixture

Everton face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 92 games played, Toffees have recorded 24 wins, and Liverpool have come away with 37 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
