Red + Blue = Red + Yellow
Some great midweek Premier League fixtures starting with the Mersyside Derby at Anfield tonight between Liverpool and Everton (obviously !).
Both teams are enjoying good runs in the Premier League with just a point splitting the arch rivals in favour of Liverpool who are an odds-on chance to win tonight with our sister company Star Sports.
Certainly, they have held the ace cards in recent encounters and you have to turn the clock back to 1999 for Everton’s last win at Anfield which came courtesy of a Kevin Campbell goal in 1999.
Since then it’s been one way traffic….

Latest team news:
Liverpool (from): Mignolet, Kelly, Skrtel, Toure, Flanagan, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Suarez, Sturridge, Jones, Cissokho, Smith, Allen, Alberto, Moses, Ibe, Aspas.
Everton (from): Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Stones, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, McGeady, Osman, Mirallas, Naismith, Lukaku, Robles, Hibbert, Heitinga, Gueye, Vellios, McAleny, Traore.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League home matches, only dropping points in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa last time out. They have scored at least twice in each of those games, and managed three goals or more in six of them.
Impressive stuff, but to be fair to Everton their record away from home recently has also been impressive and the Toffees are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away matches (W3, D4) .
Really not sure about goals or superiority but one stat does grab my attention. The Merseyside derby has produced 20 red cards in the Premier League, more than other fixture in the division.
It’s always a roller-coaster playing this market but we’ll have a buy at 60 in the hope that ref Martin Atkinson will have a busy night and hopefully see red.
