Liverpool won a treble of cups in 2000/01, lifting the League Cup and FA Cup at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, before extending their reach to Europe and landing the UEFA Cup as well.
The late, great Gerard Houllier was the man in charge, assembling a team that blended home-grown talents with players that he had brought to the club from across Europe. Such was his transformation of the squad, only one inherited player that hadn’t come through the youth ranks was left by the midway stage of the treble season - and that was fan favourite Patrik Berger.
The all-time top scorers in the Merseyside derby

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.
