The week begins in big fashion with the Merseyside derby live on the BIG screen in Boots & Laces.
With both teams in very inconsistent form and needing points for very different reasons, it is sure to be a full on Merseyside derby as Liverpool and Everton clash at Anfield. Liverpool haven’t won in the league in 2023, and only an FA Cup replay win against Wolves in the Third Round has seen them taste victory. Everton for their part have a new man at the helm in Sean Dyche, and he got the Toffee’s off to the perfect start in his first game when they beat league leaders Arsenal, though still remain in the bottom three and a point from safety. The match gets underway at 20:00.
