The final Premier League match before Christmas is a
fittingly tasty one as Everton host local rivals Liverpool
in the first Merseyside derby of the season.
Both sides come into the match off the back of much-
needed victories, with Everton now sitting eighth in the
table while Liverpool begin the weekend in second
place.
Everton
After a start full of optimism with four wins and a draw
from their opening five league games, Everton have
stumbled over the past three months and currently sit
behind West Bromwich Albion in the table heading into
Christmas.
Since losing their unbeaten record to Bournemouth in
September, the Toffees have picked up just 10 points
from a possible 33, winning only two of their last 11
outings.
However, Ronald Koeman's side will be feeling a lot
better about themselves this Monday than they were last
Monday, having ended a five-match winless streak with
a surprise come-from-behind victory over title-chasing
Arsenal.
Defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road last weekend would
not have filled fans with optimism heading into a
double-header against the Gunners and Liverpool, but
goals from Seamus Coleman and Ashley Williams have
now put Everton on the verge of back-to-back league
wins for the first time since September.
The Toffees have now rescued a league-high 11 points
from losing positions this season and are beginning to
develop a reputation as strong finishers to games,
having scored a goal in the final five minutes in four of
their last five league outings, changing the outcome of
the game in three of those.
Of course, they must be within striking distance of their
opponents in the closing stages for that to happen on
Monday, which could be a concern considering they are
welcoming the league's top scorers to Goodison Park
having kept just one clean sheet in their last 13
matches in all competitions.
However, the home advantage could prove important in
this derby with Everton one of only three teams yet to
lose in front of their own fans this season. Their last
league defeat at Goodison Park came at the hands of
Arsenal back in March.
The Toffees' home form has been in sharp contrast to
their away form, where they have already lost five times
this season, and four points from their last two home
games against Manchester United and Arsenal will give
them the confidence that they can more than hold their
own against Liverpool too.
For what it's worth, Everton also have a good record in
Merseyside derbies that have been played on a Monday,
losing just one and winning three of the previous six.

Liverpool
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has crammed a lot into his
14 months in charge of the club so far, including two
cup finals, but this will be the German's first visit to
Goodison Park.
The 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture last season
proved to be Brendan Rodgers 's final match at the helm,
and it is fair to say that the Liverpool who will make the
short trip across Stanley Park on Monday are a much
different proposition to the one that last made the visit.
Liverpool's form so far this season has hinted at a
possible title challenge, with the gap to leaders Chelsea
just six points as we approach the halfway stage of the
campaign.
The Reds currently sit second in the table, but the
scheduling of the fixture means that they are guaranteed
to start Monday's match in third with Manchester City
and Arsenal - the two teams directly below them - facing
each other on Sunday. Indeed, Chelsea could go nine
points clear of the Reds with a win over Crystal Palace
on Saturday.
However, as things stand Liverpool are 10 points and
seven places better off than they were at the same
stage of last season, and Klopp will be hoping that his
side have overcome a recent blip that saw them throw
away leads in a defeat to Bournemouth and a 2-2 draw
with West Ham United.
Wednesday night saw them return to winning ways in
impressive fashion against Middlesbrough, who had not
been beaten at home by more than one goal all year
before Liverpool's 3-0 triumph .
The Reds haven't managed back-to-back league wins
since the start of November, but they are the joint-
highest scorers away from home this season and have
amassed the number amount of points on their travels
as they have at Anfield.
The main concern for Liverpool so far this season has
been their defensive record, with no team having
conceded more in the top nine, although they have kept
clean sheets in three of their last five league outings.
It is their goals at the other end of the pitch that have
made the difference so far, though, and the current
Liverpool side have already scored double the number
they had managed after 16 games of last season.
Entertainment seems to be guaranteed with the Reds,
whose 16 matches have seen a league-high 60 goals
this season, but it is three points that they will be after
on Monday as they look to keep the pressure on Chelsea
at the top of the table.

Team News
The biggest decision for Klopp to make for this derby
once again surrounds his goalkeepers, with Loris Karius
dropped to the bench for the midweek win over
Middlesbrough.
Having kept a clean sheet in that match, Simon
Mignolet is expected to retain his place in the side at
Goodison, with Karius forced to watch on from the
bench again.
Divock Origi picked up a knock on Wednesday and is
one of a number of players who will face a late fitness
test. Joel Matip , who missed the win over Boro, could
return at the heart of the defence if he recovers from an
ankle problem.
Emre Can is also nearing a return from a knee injury, but
the match is expected to come too soon for Philippe
Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge, the latter of whom has
scored four goals in his last five league Merseyside
derbies.
Adam Lallana is expected to start again having scored
twice and created another in midweek, taking his tallies
for the season to six goals and six assists - already
more than he managed in the whole of last season.
Alexis Sanchez and Diego Costa are the only players
who have been directly involved in more goals this
season, but Everton's Romelu Lukaku can match that
tally having scored nine and created three more.
The Belgian, who scored in the corresponding fixture
last season, will lead the line again for the Toffees, who
will be without captain Phil Jagielka following his late
red card against Arsenal.
Yannick Bolasie and Muhamed Besic are long-term
absentees for Koeman, who must also decide whether to
stick with Aaron Lennon and Antonio Valencia in the
wide areas.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Stekelenburg; Coleman, Funes Mori, Williams, Baines;
McCarthy, Gueye, Barkley; Deulofeu, Lukaku, Lennon
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Mignolet; Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Milner; Wijnaldum,
Henderson, Lallana; Mane, Firmino, Origi
Head To Head
The bragging rights on Merseyside have belonged
almost exclusively to Liverpool in recent years, with the
Reds currently on an 11-match unbeaten streak against
the Toffees in the league - their longest run in the derby
since March 1979 to March 1984.
Liverpool have won just four of those 11 games, but
their record improves to nine wins and just one defeat in
their last 19 league derbies, with Everton's most recent
win in this fixture coming in October 2010 at Goodison.
The last clash between the two sides proved to be one
of the most one-sided Merseyside derbies in recent
memory as Liverpool thrashed 10-man Everton 4-0 at
Anfield in April.
This fixture has seen more red cards than any other in
Premier League history (21), with 11 of those coming at
Goodison Park - another Premier League record.
We say: Everton 1-3 Liverpool
Everton should be full of confidence following their win
over Arsenal, but their recent record in Merseyside
derbies is poor. The Reds looked back to their free-
flowing best against Watford and, with Everton missing
the leadership of Jagielka, it will be a tough ask for the
hosts to keep their local rivals at bay.

Liverpool’s Divock Origi is expecting “a
war” with Everton at Goodison Park on
Monday, when he will likely confront
Ramiro Funes Mori for the first time
since being injured by the Argentina
defender last season.
The Belgium striker’s last experience of
a Merseyside derby was a brutal one
when he suffered ankle ligament
damage as a result of an appalling
challenge from Funes Mori. And he is
anticipating another attritional contest
when the Merseyside rivals meet for
the 227th time.
Goodison
was at its
raucous best
when
Everton
recorded
their first
win in six league matches last week
against Arsenal, though only after
Ronald Koeman’s team showed the
aggression their manager had
demanded. And Origi insists Liverpool
will be prepared for a repeat as they
look to extend a 12-game unbeaten run
in the derby and close the gap on the
Premier League leaders, Chelsea.
“It will be a war,” the 21-year-old said,
“so we go there in a very positive way.
You want to win this game, you know it
will not be easy, it is a derby so it will
be special and a very big and important
game for us as a club also. We have to
prepare it well.”
Funes Mori is expected to return to the
heart of Everton’s defence as the
captain, Phil Jagielka, is suspended. He
was sent off for his foul on Origi at
Anfield in April, also receiving a club
fine from the then manager Roberto
Martínez, and apologised both on social
media and through club channels for
the tackle that sidelined the striker for
four weeks and effectively cost him a
chance of starting the Europa League
final.
A phlegmatic Origi said: “These are
things that happen. I came back
stronger and I have to continue
growing. These things happen in a
football career. I received an official
message [from Funes Mori]. I keep on
looking forward and I am very excited
for the next game. How will I feel? I
don’t know who is playing but I am
very motivated.”
The Liverpool striker is in his best run
of form since that derby in April, when
he scored his 10th goal of the campaign
in a 4-0 victory, having scored five
goals in his past five games for Jürgen
Klopp’s team.
“I am happy to express myself in a
positive way but I think this is only the
beginning,” Origi added. “At the end I
will have time to reflect on the season
and see what is good and not good, but
obviously I am feeling better and better
and I am very happy I can express
myself on the field.
“I like to
keep my goal
target to
myself but I
am very,
very
ambitious. I always said I want to get
the best out of my potential. This has
given me confidence but I still I have to
grow and, like I said, now is not the
time to be happy. I have to work hard,
work hard and keep going. At the end
of the season we will see what we have
reached.”
Klopp believes a return to fitness has
allowed the former Lille forward to
demonstrate he has all the attributes to
succeed, and that there is more to come
from the £9.6m signing.
The Liverpool manager said: “He is at a
very good level. Divock knows he can
improve a lot and he has to. It is good
for us at the moment, he scores and he
is involved. There are a lot of
wonderful improvements that I can see
already but a player like Divock at 21,
he is so skilled I don’t know where the
development will stop at the end. He
has all you need for a decent career,
100%. In the moment he is in good
shape but he is far away from being
100% Divock Origi. For a striker it is
about 25 or 26, when they can mix it
up.”
