The Game of the Day: Not in the Champions League, but in Liverpool

While four more UEFA Champions League playoff matches are on today’s schedule, the most highly anticipated game of the day takes place in another competition—the Premier League. And it’s none other than the Merseyside Derby.

This historic rivalry always comes with its own drama, but this time, the stakes are even higher. Under the guidance of new manager David Moyes, Everton has found new life, winning three consecutive matches and climbing out of immediate relegation danger. Meanwhile, Liverpool remains in excellent form, and a recent upset loss to Plymouth in the FA Cup has only fueled their determination.

Last season, both sides claimed a victory in their respective league encounters. But that was a different story, with vastly different circumstances. What will happen this time? That’s anyone’s guess. All eyes will be on Anfield when the match kicks off at 20:30 CET.
