All 20 Premier League teams are in action this midweek with Liverpool vs Everton one of the standout midweek clashes.
Liverpool are usually the favourites to beat their local rivals and very few would bet against them getting the three points in the 234th Merseyside Derby.
The Reds have won 13 of their 14 Premier League games this term, while the Toffees are just two points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, the Premier League leaders have home advantage and also have an extra day’s preparation as they played Brighton on Saturday while their rivals faced Leicester on Sunday.
Everton also have a dreadful record against Liverpool in recent seasons and have not beaten them since October 2010.
They have not won at Anfield, where they are playing on Wednesday night, since September 1999.
A lot has happened in the two decades since Everton last tasted victory at Liverpool’s home and talkSPORT.com has taken a trip down memory lane to look back at that game and what else was going on in the world at the time.
Like many derbies are, this game will be remembered for how bad-tempered it was.
Three players were sent off with Reds goalkeeper Sander Westerveld and Toffees striker Francis Jeffers both red carded for fighting in the 74th minute.
A youthful Steven Gerrard was dismissed for an awful lunge on Kevin Campbell in the 90th minute as Liverpool chased an equaliser.
Michael Owen was perhaps fortunate to escape a red card for a similar challenge on David Weir in the first half, while Steve Staunton actually ended up in goal for Liverpool after Westerweld’s sending off.
It was Campbell who got the winning goal with four minutes on the clock.
The striker latched on to Jeffers’ through ball following slack defending by Liverpool before firing the ball in.
It was the last time the Merseysiders faced each other in the 90s – a decade which saw Liverpool fail to win in nine matches between November 1994-October 1998.
Everton have been to Anfield 21 times in all competitions since but have failed to win.
To give you an idea about just how long ago that was, below you can see a table of things that were going on in the world in September 1999.
