Both sides still have plenty to play for and I see great motivation for Liverpool, especialy after their last result 3-0 against Man. United. As for Everton they have proved this year their class, especialy their defence. As this game will be a derby I see a very close game, especialy when we know that both sides can defend well and both are playing defensive football, Liverpool never open the game and risk and in this derby they will play even more carefully and a draw looks likely.
Striker Fernando Torres is fit to face Everton after coming through Spain's friendly in midweek with no problems but Javier Mascherano is suspended.
Defender Steve Finnan is close to a return after a groin problem while Yossi Benayoun and John Arne Riise are pushing for a place in the side.
Andrew Johnson (groin) is Everton's main doubt for the Merseyside derby.
Steven Pienaar's fitness will be assessed after illness but Victor Anichebe should be be fit to play.
Liverpool squad: Reina, Arbeloa, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Skrtel, Riise, Arbeloa, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Alonso, Lucas, Torres, Kuyt, Voronin, Crouch, Pennant, Itandje.
Everton squad: Howard, Hibbert, Neville, Yobo, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Valente, Arteta, Osman, Carsley, Pienaar, Fernandes, Anichebe, Yakubu, Johnson, Wessels, Rodwell.
