Wednesday night marks the final Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park.

Months on from when the game was originally meant to be played, Everton find themselves in a much more positive position.

The Friedkins have brought back David Moyes who has the Toffees on a three-game run of consecutive victories in the Premier League.

Arne Slot is cautious of the Goodison Park atmosphere which is set to be electric ahead of the final derby before the stadium move.

With a nine-point cushion on the bottom three, the game in-hand for both sides on Wednesday will certainly have more pressure on Liverpool.

Looking ahead to the game, both Jamie Carragher and Duncan Ferguson are in full agreement on one thing ahead of the derby.

Jamie Carragher shares Everton vs Liverpool prediction

Ferguson admitted he wants to manage Everton again having tried his hand in a number of managerial roles elsewhere.

He is one man who will know plenty about the Merseyside Derby and what he is fully convinced the Toffees can take all three points on Wednesday.

Speaking to Carragher through The Telegraph, Ferguson spoke about the atmosphere which is going to be created in the final ever derby at Goodison.

“I fancy Everton to win,” Ferguson said.

“They can do it if they set the tempo, put them under pressure, get on top of them, get the fans involved and defend for their lives. One of the defenders will have to be man of the match, but then they can nick it.”

And Carragher agrees the fans will be able to play their part for the Toffees up against the side currently leading the race for the title.

“For me, it is the ultimate test of Arne Slot’s new “calmer Liverpool”. They have dealt with many challenges this season, but an evening game at Goodison Park is something else,” Carragher said.

Arne Slot has been warned about the Goodison atmosphere which he expects to be ‘special’ in the final meeting between the sides at the historic ground.

Everton vs Liverpool recent results at Goodison Park

Despite the Toffees struggling over recent years, the record at Goodison has remained relatively positive.

This will be the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison before Everton move on to Bramley-Moore Dock.

With this in mind, there are more than just three points on the line for the Blues with a place in history at stake for the Toffees.

Having lost just once at home against the Reds since 2018, Moyes’ side will be hoping to continue their recent form to avoid a final derby defeat at Goodison.
