Read on for our A to Z of one of the most famous rivalries in world football...
A is for Ablett. Sorely missed Scouser Gary Ablett played for Liverpool and Everton and has the distinction of winning the FA Cup with both teams – against the Blues for the Reds in 1989 and in 1995 for Joe Royle’s side against Tottenham Hotspur.
B is for Beardsley. Peter Beardsley was a Kop idol who was controversially sold across Stanley Park. He scored twice for the Reds in the famous 4-4 FA Cup tie at Goodison Park in 1991 and would later score a derby winner for the Blues against Liverpool in 1992.
C is for curtains. Bill Shankly once famously said of the Reds' neighbours: “If Everton were playing at the bottom of the garden, I’d draw the curtains!”.
D is for Dalglish. Kenny Dalglish led the Reds to FA Cup final victory over the Blues in 1986 and 1989, plus an FA Cup semi-final win at Wembley in 2012.
E is for Everton. Put simply, without the Blues there would be no Reds. On March 15, 1892, John Houlding famously broke from the board of Everton to form a new club - Liverpool FC. The club was formally recognised by the Board of Trade on June 3, making it our official birthday.
F is for Fairclough. ‘Super-Sub’ David Fairclough lived up to his billing when he came off the bench and scored a winner two minutes from time at Anfield on April 3, 1976. It was his only goal in a derby fixture but is one that lives long in the memory, with the striker beating five players on a mazy run before finding the net.
G is for Gerrard. Our former captain netted a hat-trick against the Blues in the Anfield derby on March 13, 2012. During his Liverpool career, Gerrard registered 10 times against Everton.
H is for Hillsborough. Following the Hillsborough disaster, Blues stood side by side with Reds as a city mourned and campaigned as one.
I is for Ings. Danny Ings' last goal to date for Liverpool was against Everton in the Goodison Park derby on October 4, 2015.
J is for Johnson. David Johnson was the first player to score for both Liverpool and Everton in the derby.
K is for Kendall. Howard Kendall, Everton’s most successful manager of all-time.
L is for Lee. Sammy Lee was the popular Liverpudlian who brought energy to the midfield of the 1983-84 treble-winning side. Lee was later a coach at Anfield and assistant manager to Rafael Benitez before teaming up with Sam Allardyce at Everton.
M is for Milk Cup. The first all-Merseyside cup final at Wembley was for the 1984 Milk Cup. The Reds went on to win the trophy at Maine Road, however, clinching a 1-0 replay victory.
N is for Neal. Liverpool’s most decorated player, Phil Neal, made his Liverpool debut against Everton in a goalless draw at Goodison Park on November 16, 1974. In total, Neal made 650 appearances for the Reds - 29 of them against the Blues - during his Liverpool career.
O is for own goals. Some famous own goals have also been scored in derbies; Kopites still fondly remember Sandy Brown and Phil Neville netting for the Reds!
P is for park. As regularly pointed out during television coverage of derbies, Anfield and Goodison Park sit just a short trip across Stanley Park from each other.
Q is for quickest. Kenny Dalglish scored one of the quickest ever derby goals as he netted in the opening minute of a 3-2 win at Goodison in September 1985.
R is for Rush. Everton’s nemesis Ian Rush has scored the most goals in Merseyside derby history - 25 to be exact.
S is for Screen Sport Super Cup. The Reds beat the Blues 7-2 on aggregate in this one-off competition in 1986, with Rush netting five of the goals.
T is for Torres. In 2007-08, the Spaniard scored the only goal of the derby as Liverpool beat Everton 1-0 at Anfield, and he netted a brace in a 2-0 win at Goodison Park the following season.
U is for unbeaten. Liverpool's current 16-game unbeaten run against Everton is the longest such streak in Merseyside derby history.
V is for Vignal. Everyone remembers Gary McAllister’s incredible free-kick winner at Goodison Park but not many recall which Red was fouled ahead of the set-piece being awarded. Gregory Vignal was something of a surprise replacement for Robbie Fowler 83 minutes into the game, but the French defender more than played his part in an unforgettable win.
W is for Waddle. Alan Waddle scored a solitary goal in his 22 appearances for Liverpool, but it was certainly a memorable one. The Wallsend-born forward, cousin of former England international Chris, netted a Merseyside derby winner at Goodison Park on December 8, 1973.
X is for Xavier. Portugal defender Abel Xavier, remembered for his flamboyant hairstyles, played for both clubs after swapping the Blues for the Reds in January 2002.
Y is for You'll Never Walk Alone. Liverpool's anthem takes on additional fervour when the Blues visit Anfield.
Z is for Z-Cars. Of course, Everton have a pre-match song of their own - the theme tune from British police drama Z-Cars.
