Stats: Can Stevie hit double figures?
Steven Gerrard will hope to extend his goal record against Everton into double figures when the Merseyside derby takes place at Anfield later today - here are the vital pre-match facts and stats.
Last season, this fixture produced Liverpool's biggest derby victory since 1982 and their biggest at Anfield for 42 years as Brendan Rodgers' side won 4-0.
Saturday will be the 223rd meeting between the two rivals. Of the previous encounters in all competitions, the Reds have won 88, there have been 68 draws and the Blues have claimed 66 victories.
Liverpool have lost just three of the last 29 meetings in the Premier League, home and away - all at Goodison Park. This match is English league football's most played derby, with all in the top flight.
At Anfield, Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 14 top-flight meetings - winning seven and drawing seven. The Blues' last win at Anfield came in September 1999 when Kevin Campbell scored the winner four minutes into the game.
102 goals have been scored in the Merseyside derby in the Premier League era. The Reds have found the net in 12 of the last 14 league fixtures against their rivals from across Stanley Park.
Gerrard has scored nine goals in 31 appearances against Everton - only Ian Rush, with 25, has scored more for the Reds. The Liverpool skipper is the last player to score a hat-trick in the fixture - at Anfield in March 2012 on his 400th league appearance.
Daniel Sturridge has scored six career goals against the Blues in total, with three coming in three games for Liverpool. Mario Balotelli scored his only career goal against Everton almost three years ago to the day in a 2-0 Manchester City home win.
The Reds have drawn more home games against Everton - 10 - than against any other team in the Premier League era.
However, Rodgers' charges have drawn only one of their last 19 Premier League games - the 3-3 result at Crystal Palace last May. And they have drawn only once in the league at Anfield since Everton claimed a 0-0 there in May 2013.
Blues boss Roberto Martinez has won twice in his 10 previous meetings with Liverpool as a manager, including one with Wigan Athletic at Anfield in March 2012.
Everton have won two of their last 28 league visits to Anfield. As well as the aforementioned victory in 1999 they also beat Liverpool on this ground in 1995, with Andrei Kanchelskis scoring both in a 2-1 win.
All of Everton's nine Premier League derby wins have come in the first fixture of the season. The Blues have scored more than once in only one of their last 15 league visits - a 2-2 draw in January 2011.
20 players have been sent off in this fixture in the 44 Premier League meetings, with 11 coming in the last 19 clashes. There has not been a red card issued in the last six ties in league and cup.
Romelu Lukaku has scored four goals in his last four league games against Liverpool. Samuel Eto'o could face the Reds with a fourth different club - following games for Barcelona, Anzhi Makhachkala and Chelsea, for whom he scored last December in a 2-1 home win at Stamford Bridge.
