Everton and Liverpool are playing the Merseyside Derby live on Saturday for the English Premier League marquee matchup and the game is from Goodison Park from NBC and will be streaming on the NBC Sports Network Live Stream as Steven Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers try and get a win away starting at 12:30 pm ET.
Gerred will be playing in his last Derby match for Liverpool and he said he is ready for a loud welcome from fans in Everton and this will be his last before going to Los Angeles. Daniel Sturridge could be in the starting lineup for the first time since summer and Everton could have Aaron Lennon playing after they got him in a transfer loan from Tottenham. Liverpool comes in at seventh on the league table and they last won against Bolton in the FA Cup fourth round.
The team has the chance to make a run in the second half, but overall they have struggled compared to last year. The Reds finished second in the standings in the EPL last year to Manchester City and now they have the chance to get things going with a couple months left. Luis Suarez is gone and Mario Balotelli has not lived up to expectations and coming up they play against Everton before hosting Tottenham and travelling to Crystal Palace and Southampton.
Coming up the team has some tough matchups, as they will be hosting Manchester City at Anfield and then they play against Burnley and Swansea City. In March the team has another big matchup with Manchester United coming at Anfield and then the team plays against Arsenal at the Emirates. Chelsea is leading the EPL over Man City and they are second ahead of Manchester United, while Tottenham, Southampton, Arsenal and Liverpool are next on the table. Everton is down at number 12 ahead of Crystal Palace.
Lazar Markovic and Adam Lallana could be out for the matchup and now Everton comes in looking to get another solid performance, as they won against Crystal Palace. The team got their first win in nine games and now Roberto Martinez is hoping to get things going with his team. Everton ended a six match streak of being without a win in league play and this will be the chance for the team to bounce back again, as they have won just one of the last seven games at home against Liverpool.
Liverpool is finally starting to take better form and Gerrard likely will be looking to make an impact in his final derby matchup. Liverpool comes in having won five of the last six league games and they are unbeaten over the last seven EPL games. The Reds also have been playing better on the road, as they won four of the last five on the road and have kept the opposition scoreless in the last three matchups.
