While different London derbies crop up with promotion and relegation, and Leeds United s return to the top flight has thrown the Pennines derby back into the big time, the Merseyside derby remains at the top of the ladder. And with Everton now looking much improved under Carlo Ancelotti, things are perhaps as close as they ve ever been between the Toffees and red-nosed neighbours Liverpool in quite some time.
To put the derby into context, Anfield and Goodison Park sit less than a mile away from each other; walking distance with a few pints of alcohol in the system.
