Everton vs. Liverpool: Starting XIs, Line-Ups from 2015 Premier League

Both Everton and Liverpool have eyes on the top four spots in the Premier League this season, and a positive result in Sunday’s Merseyside derby will be vital in building momentum with big challenges to come.

Everton have enjoyed a strong start to the season, with a stunning comeback win over West Bromwich Albion on Monday keeping spirits high. Here’s the XI named by manager Roberto Martinez for this crunch fixture, per the club’s Twitter feed:

Liverpool secured a much needed win in their last Premier League outing and under-pressure manager Brendan Rodgers will be acutely aware of how important a strong performance is at Goodison Park. Here’s the team he’s picked, per the Liverpool Twitter account:

Everton have an awful record in this fixture, with their last league win over Liverpool coming in 2010, and seem to struggle mentally when their neighbours from across Stanley Park visit. The Toffees are in better shape coming in this one, but Liverpool will be hoping to capitalise on the longstanding nervousness their local rivals have long showcased in derby matches.
