Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a match between Everton and Liverpool. The Merseyside derby scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at Goodison Park in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC.
What They're Saying
Everton manager Roberto Martinez via (ESPN FC): "Obviously, Tim [Howard] has got a long-term contract here, which he signed in the summer. He's in the best moment of his career. When you're a goalkeeper of that age, you're starting to use your experience to influence the people around you."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via ESPN FC): "We need an aggression and an intensity to press the ball and players need the courage to play. It was well documented in the first four months of the season that we were nowhere near that."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Liverpool's Emre Can has been in stellar form since moving to right center-back. The 21-year-old provided a timely assist in Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Bolton on Wednesday and is averaging 1.7 tackles in 12 league matches.
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Robles; Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman; Besic, Barry; Mirallas, Barkley, Naismith; Lukaku
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (3-4-2-1): Mignolet; Sakho, Skrtel, Can; Moreno, Leiva, Gerrard, Henderson; Coutinho, Sterling; Sturridge
