    • Everton
    • Liverpool
    • 90'+4 And there goes the final whistle! Incredible scenes at Goodison! Livepool run out 2-1 winners after a mental final few minutes!
    • 90'+3 PENALTY SHOUT FOR EVERTON AT THE DEATH! MUST BE! NO! Not given again!
    • 90'+3 Incredible end to the game! Neville didn't have any choice there... Everton down to nine men!
    • 90'+2 GOAL! KUYT NETS HIS SECOND TO WIN IT FOR LIVERPOOL!
    • 90' INCREDIBLE! NEVILLE IS SENT OFF FOR SAVING VORONIN'S CLOSE RANGE EFFORT WITH HIS HANDS! AND IT'S ANOTHER PENALTY!
    • 90' Three minutes of added time to be played... there's still time!
    • 89' Yellows for Carragher and McFadden for a tussle in the middle of the park...
    • 88' Pennant on for Sissoko...
    • 84' Baines comes on to replace Anichebe now as Everton look to hang on to a point.
    • 82' Voronin! Oooh! He heads wide of the mark! Liverpool getting closer!
    • 79' Yakubu comes off now... and he'll have to wait a little longer for his first goal at Goodison... McFadden comes on.
    • 78' Voronin on the break! He heads off towards goal... cuts inside past Stubbs, but his shot is dragged wide of the mark!
    • 72' What's going on here? Steven Gerrard is hauled off by Benitez... Lucas comes on to replace him. Gerrard doesn't look happy about that one...
    • 69' Liverpool make a change... Benayoun is replaced by Ryan Babel, who is making his first appearance in a Merseyside derby...
    • 66' Oooh! YAKUBU lets fly with a real stinger from 25 yards! Inches wide of the post!
    • 64' Kuyt goes into the book for a reckless challenge on Phil Neville... the crowd don't like that one at all... that could easily construed as a red card offence...
    • 61' Oooh! Chances galore for Liverpool! Kuyt stabs an effort goalwards... repelled by Howard! It falls again for him! Over the bar with a header!
    • 60' The goal and the sending off has opened up this game completely now...
    • 58' Chance for Liverpool to double their lead! Kuyt breaks free on the far side... he pulls back to RIISE! OH NO! The Norwegian blazes over the bar! Bad, bad miss...
    • 57' Penalty shout from Lescott at the other end! Finnan's got his arms all over the full-back... but the ref waves play on this time!
    • 56' Now we've got a game!
    • 55' That decision will be talking about for some time... contact seemed to be minimal and Gerrard appeared to go to ground from a slight shirt pull at worst. And was the 'contact' even intside the box?
    • 54' GOAL! KUYT STEPS UP AND SENDS HOWARD THE WRONG WAY! Liverpool are right back in this one, if somewhat controversially! 1-1 now!
    • 53' AND A RED CARD FOR HIBBERT! EVERTON DOWN TO TEN MEN!
    • 53' Liverpool break from the clearance.... Gerrard's through on goal! Hibbert chases back... Gerrard goes down and the ref POINTS TO THE SPOT! PENALTY!
    • 52' Lescott wins another corner for Everton! But it's poorly delivered and the ball is headed clear at the near post!
    • 49' Jose Reine has the sun in his eyes this half... but he takes a long ball forward without too many problems as he is called into action for the first time since the restart.
    • 47' If things stay as they are, Everton will go level on points with their city rivals...
    • 46' Back underway at Goodison! No changes to tell you about...
    • 45'+2 There goes the whislte! Half time at Goodison and it's Everton again who are in the lead!
    • 44' Two minutes of time to be added on at the end of the first half...
    • 42' After their strong opening, Liverpool's game plan has come apart somewhat... and it's been Everton on the attack, with Joleon Lescott the focus of their attacking aspirations.
    • 40' Here goes Lescott again... he centre for Osman who tries an instinctive first time effort! It's not too well struck though and the ball rolls past the upright!
    • 38' GOAL! EVERTON TAKE THE LEAD THROUGH A HYYPIA OWN GOAL! It's a calamitous effort from the defender... Stubbs' centre is deflected high into the air... it's a real scramble in the Liverpool box and Hyypia instinctively sticks out a boot as the ball comes across him... in off the post and Everton are one up!
    • 37' Lescott's attacking runs down the left hand side have been a real feature of the game so far...
    • 36' Lescott marauds forward once again... this time his attacking aspirations are cut short by Finnan...
    • 35' OOOOH! Liverpool come back with their best effort of the game! It's Riise with a free kick that is deflected off Hibbert... the ball bounces agonisingly wide of the upright!
    • 33' Oooh! Best chance of the match so far! Arteta whips a free-kick into the Liverpool mixer... Anichebe leaps highest to help the ball on... but it lands on top of Reina's netting! Good effort nonetheless...
    • 32' Half chance for Yakubu as Lescott directs a header across the face of goal... but the Nigerian, with his back to goal, can't make contact with an attempted volley....
    • 31' The midfield is so congested a the moment, it's difficult for either side to find time on the ball...
    • 30' Osman lets fly with a hopeful volley from outside the box... and you know what? It's not that far off...
    • 28' Phil Neville seems to be getting the bird from Liverpool fans every time he touches the ball... a legacy of his connection with Manchester United.
    • 28' Anichebe gets to the inswinging corner first... but his header flies way over Reina's cross bar.
    • 27' Lescott hares onto a nifty through ball from Yakubu... and the England defender wins a corner!
    • 26' Referee Mark Clattenburg decides a drop ball is the best way to restart the game... Carragher hammers it deep into the Everton half and we're off again!
    • 24' The Liverpool defence take their time about clearing the corner... Sissoko and Osman clash heads in a quick head tennis rally and the ref blows up for the pair to receive some attention...
    • 23' Osman capitalises on a mistake from Mascherano... he gets to the byline and delivers a teasing cross... Reina scrambles back and concedes a corner!
    • 22' Gerrard swings it over... CARRAGHER! No... there'a foul on Stubbs from the former Everton fan and Everton have a free kick.
    • 21' Voronin and Gerrard nearly trip over each other on the right... but it seems to work and Gerrard sends over a cross from the byline! Put behind for a Liverpool corner.
    • 18' Click on the team stats tab above to find out exactly how much possession either side is enjoying...
    • 16' The ball's in the back of the net! But the linesman's flag went up ages ago to signal Kuyt offside... ironic cheers abound from the Goodison faithful...
    • 15' Everton's passing is just off target at the moment... it's all a bit stop start...
    • 14' Everton beginning to settle and enjoy a bit more possession now...
    • 13' Corner now to Everton! The ball works its way out to Neville on the other side... his floats one in... Stubbs flicks on... but there's no one there to capitalise.
    • 12' Arteta's delivery is poor though and Hyypia hacks to safety...
    • 11' Hyypia hauls Arteta down on the far side... and Eveton will finally have a chance to put a ball into the Liverpool box...
    • 10' Things get a little tasty in the centre of the park now as Neville and Mascherano go in with some tough tackling... the crowd like that one!
    • 9' Liverpool try to play a clever free-kick, but it's a little over elaborate and Benayoun's final ball goes to an Everton shirt...
    • 7' Liverpool on top early on... the Toffees have hardly been out of their own half so far.
    • 6' Voronin with another chance a minute later! But this is only really a half chance and his shot from the edge of the area soars well over Howards bar....
    • 5' REAL CHANCE FOR LIVERPOOL! Hibbert allows a long ball to bounce to Benayoun, who jinks inside and lays off for Voronin! MUST BE! NO! The Ukrainian rather stabs his shot goalwards and Howard is able to claim the ball at the second attempt!
    • 3' Benayoun breaks with the ball at his feet... he feeds Gerrard who looks to burst into the Liverpool box! But he over runs it and ends up in the Everton crowd behind the goal... somehow said fans refrain from any sly digs on the Liverpool skipper, and he gets up to continue play.
    • 2' Indeed, the sun is low in the sky and could affect Tim Howard's view in the Everton goal this first half.
    • 1' Underway in bright sunshine at Goodison!
    • - Expect fireworks from this fixture! It should be a cracker!
    • - Fernando Torres will not feature for Liverpool... instead Andriy Voronin and Dirk Kuyt lead the Reds' line.
    • - Anichebe and Yakubu lead Everton's line, while James McFadden settles for a place on the bench.
    • - Team news... Tim Cahill has not made it... the Aussie midfielder has been left out of the Everton squad despite making himself available to manager David Moyes.
    • - Don't forget it's an early kick-off, so make sure you join us at 12:45 for all the action as it happens!
    • - Revenge will be on the minds of the red half of the city after Liverpool were tonked 3-0 in the corresponding fixture last season. Jamie Carragher claimed the defeat was his lowest ever moment in football and he, along with the rest of the Liverpool side, will be looking to make amends today.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of today's big game in the Premier League! It's the Merseyside derby between bitter rivals Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park!
