Everton host Liverpool in the Premier League tonight in what is the final Merseyside derby to be played at Goodison Park.
Everton’s home will be demolished when they move into the new stadium at the beginning of next season, but the storied ground has the potential to for one more exciting chapter as league leaders Liverpool cross town.
The fixture comes at a busy time for both clubs, with the original match re-arranged due to Storm Darragh in December, and while Liverpool exited the FA Cup at the weekend, they can go nine points clear at the top of the league with a win tonight.
David Moyes has steadied the ship since arriving back at Everton in January, and though the Toffees should be safe from relegation anyway, Goodison will be rocking as they hope to take three points as their rivals fight for the title.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match:

Team news
David Moyes has no new injury concerns after the loss to Bournemouth in the cup, with Orel Mangala and Armando Broja as the long-term injuries.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will remain out, as will Dwight McNeil and Seamus Coleman.
Arne Slot’s only new worry is regarding Joe Gomez, who came off in the loss to Plymouth. It is currently unknown whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will be fit in time to face the Toffees though the right-back will be assessed in training and a late decision made by the manager.
Other than that, it is expected that Slot will likely make 10 changes as he did at the weekend, with key players such as Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch all returning to the line-up.
Predicted line-ups
Everton XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowksi, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Lindstrom, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Neto.
