They defeated Preston 2-0 away from home and successfully entered the next round.
Liverpool's opponent in the next round of the English FA Cup also appeared immediately, that is, their city rivals Everton. Yes, this is the Merseyside Derby. In this game, Liverpool fans and Everton
Dayton fans are looking forward to it.
In addition to this game, Liverpool will face Everton in the next league game and stage another Merseyside derby. This is two consecutive games between the two teams within a week, what a coincidence.
Yes, Liverpool's opponents in the next two games are Everton. Although Liverpool initially broke away from Everton, Everton has not been able to catch up with Liverpool in terms of strength or historical record.
From the current point of view, Everton and Liverpool are not teams of the same level at all. Liverpool is now ranked first in the Premier League, while Everton is ranked sixth. Everton is ten points behind Liverpool.
Three points.
Moreover, Everton has not won the Merseyside derby for a long time. Now that the two teams meet again, Everton is rightly not favored by everyone.
Before the game, neither the media nor reporters were optimistic about Everton. They all believed that Everton could not create pressure on Liverpool and the victory must belong to Liverpool.
Before the game, Everton's head coach David Moyes did not think so. He believed that Everton's team was not without a chance, and Liverpool's team was not invincible. Before the game, he was full of confidence. He said
It's not that Liverpool won't be allowed to score three points. Their Everton team is definitely not the soft persimmon that everyone thinks can be pinched.
David Moyes said: "The Liverpool team is indeed very strong now, and there is some gap between us and him. But this does not mean that we do not have any chances. Now I have found a way, and we will definitely let them win in this game."
Everyone’s eyes lit up.”
The same goes for Everton fans before the game. They think Liverpool are simply too arrogant now. They think they are number one in the world just because they won the World Club Cup. These guys are nothing to be afraid of.
The victory must belong to Everton.
The Liverpool fans ignored the Everton fans at all and let them howl crazily before the game. In the eyes of the Liverpool fans, the Everton fans were just showing their guilty conscience. Liverpool's fans
At this moment, the fans all thought of a saying, if howling and bragging was useful, then who the hell would kick Qiu?
On the field, Liverpool players take this game very seriously. Derby is different from other games. Anything can happen. This is not comparable to ordinary games. Any carelessness may ruin the players.
Their efforts throughout the game.
Therefore, before the game, Liverpool players expressed their caution during interviews.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said this in an interview with reporters: "Any Merseyside derby is not easy to play, because this is a derby. Although our results are much better now, Everton
It is difficult to deal with. In this game, we must go all out, otherwise, our position at the top of the league will not be guaranteed."
Yes, now behind Liverpool, Manchester United is chasing very urgently. The difference between the two teams is still only one point. This point difference can be erased in one game, or even overtaken. At this time, Liverpool is not
They can make a few mistakes, otherwise, they will be killed.
When Qiu Ze was interviewed by reporters before the game, he said this: "This game is indeed difficult because they are so familiar with us. They study us every day and study how to defeat us. Such an opponent is
It’s terrifying. For no one, such an opponent cannot be underestimated.”
When Spanish forward Fernando Torres was interviewed, he said this: "Yes, this game is difficult, but we are ready to face all difficulties. We only have one goal in this game, that
Just take away the victory.”
The Liverpool team seems to be very low-key, but in fact they are full of confidence, which makes the outside world even more optimistic about them.
Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benitez also said before the game: "Everton is a very strong team with good strength. Even more powerful is their head coach David, who was once the best coach in the Premier League.
?Moyes is a strong opponent. Every time I play against him, I have the feeling that he has improved again. This is a terrible opponent."
Before the game, the two teams showed two different attitudes. However, everyone can see one problem, that is, both teams attach great importance to this game. This is a fatal game, and both teams are aiming for it.
Go away victorious.
Liverpool needs victory to maintain their top spot in the league, while Everton hopes to use victory to accumulate more points and strive to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
Now that the league has entered the second half, everyone must exert their strength. At this time, no one wants to make mistakes and let the opponent surpass them.

On this day, Anfield, the home stadium of Liverpool, was filled with fans from both sides. In the stands, the fans from both sides were clearly divided into two camps. The Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys were better than the fans wearing blue jerseys.
There are countless times more Fulton fans.
The deafening singing of "You Can't Walk Alone" rang out from the scene, and the Everton team's team song was drowned out by this thunderous sound. All this seemed to indicate that Everton wanted to go from there.
It is absolutely impossible to escape from Anfield unscathed.
The atmosphere at the scene was very hot. The atmosphere of the Merseyside Derby filled the entire sky of Liverpool from the first minute the fans entered the stadium. The smoke billowing and the black clouds looming over the city seemed to be declaring a future.
A fierce battle is coming.
This game is very important for Liverpool, they must win, so Rafael Benitez directly sent out their strongest lineup, and they must win at home.
The goalkeeper position is Spanish goalkeeper Reina, and the four back positions are Arbeloa, Carragher, Daniel Agger and Joel Luca. During the European Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony, Liverpool's head coach
Rafael Benitez had a private meeting with Skrtel's agent in France, and now the two have reached a private agreement, and Liverpool has made an offer to Zenit St. Petersburg. Soon, the central defender will

Everton, on the other hand, is also playing with all its main players. It seems that neither side is thinking about the English FA Cup in the middle of next week. In this game, the two teams will have to fight to the death.
At the beginning of the game, the Liverpool team launched a ferocious attack. At their home court, they really wanted to let the Everton guys understand whose territory this is, this is Anfield!
Liverpool's offense is very sharp. Everton did not attack Liverpool like fools. They knew how much they had to lose. However, when there was an opportunity to attack, Everton would not be soft-hearted.
He also participated in the attack and attacked the Liverpool team crazily.
Therefore, this game was very exciting, and both teams were able to play wonderful coordination. However, everyone could see that the home team Liverpool had a very big advantage, while Everton was a little difficult to resist. But no one could
It comes to mind that Everton was the team that scored first.
What everyone didn't expect was that the goal scorer was not an Everton player. Yes, you thought it right, it was an own goal. Sadly, Daniel Agger, this guy was too positive. Seeing Everton
Don's wide player swept the football in front of the goal with a sweeping kick. Daniel Agger immediately fell to the ground and broke the tackle.
Who would have thought that when he shoveled the football, he failed to destroy Qiu. Instead, he shoveled the football directly into the Liverpool team's goal. This goal was really embarrassing for Liverpool.
With this goal, Daniel Agger doesn't look like a central defender at all, but more like a forward who thinks he has a strong point.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were stunned.
The visiting team's Everton fans were extremely crazy. This goal was more satisfying than their own goal. The Everton fans laughed together and thanked Wei loudly for scoring the first goal.
Liverpool star Daniel Agger.
There were very Everton fans at the scene shouting: "Daniel Agger, you are lucky to be undercover! We will never forget your contribution, so you can go with peace of mind. Hahahaha!"
The Liverpool fans were very unhappy and felt aggrieved. They did not expect that the team would lose the ball like this and fall behind Everton like this. They could not accept it. They immediately cheered for the team crazily. They hoped that the team would
They could score a goal and equalize the score as quickly as possible, but they didn't want to see the Evertonians arrogant.
After that, Liverpool strengthened their attack, but Everton's defense was very tight, which gave Liverpool no chance to score. During the game, Qiu Ze and others performed very well, but they were not able to break through the opponent's goal.
.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Liverpool continued their crazy attack, threatening Everton's goal many times. However, the Everton fans seemed to be made of iron. Liverpool could not break the opponent's goal. Instead, Everton
The Dun team's counterattack was even more threatening.
This made the Liverpool fans even more unhappy. They shouted wildly and sang the team's anthem. They absolutely could not accept the team losing to the damn Everton fans, and the Everton fans were extremely excited.
