Everton face Liverpool at Goodison Park on Monday, Dec. 19. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Everton, by beating Arsenal 2-1, snapped their five-game winless streak on Tuesday in the most impressive fashion. The Toffees ended Arsenal’s 14-game unbeaten streak and will be brimming with confidence when they welcome Liverpool to Goodison for the 227th edition of the Merseyside derby.
Eleven points separate the two sides going into the match, but you can throw point totals out of the equation when these two sides clash, as the intense and bitter rivalry always results in an impassioned, tight affair.
While Everton have struggled mightily in the past few months, they remain unbeaten at Goodison. It’s become the Toffees’ safe haven, especially considering their woeful away record.
Liverpool are in second place in the standings, nine points adrift of Chelsea, who won 1-0 against Crystal Palace on Saturday. They may, depending on the result of Manchester City’s match against Arsenal, drop to third before kickoff. Regardless, they’ll need all three points to stay in the title race, a feat that won’t be easy in Goodison’s hostile confines.
The Reds have the most potent offense in the top flight, scoring 40 goals in 16 matches. Contrastingly, Liverpool have conceded more goals, 20, than any other top six Premier League side.
Everton, who are currently in eighth place in the standings with 23 points from 16 games, have conceded the same amount of goals as their opposition on Monday. Unfortunately for the Toffees, their offensive prowess, with 21 goals, is very much inferior to Liverpool’s.

It could be Everton’s time to snap Liverpool’s unbeaten Merseyside derby run.
