Everton face Liverpool today looking for their first win over their rivals in five years.

Roberto Martinez's side go into the derby on good form, having won their last game, coming from behind to beat West Brom. They've also taken scalps from Chelsea and Southampton in great style over the last few months, and things are looking up from last season. With no Europa League to contend with, and the good form of key players like Lukaku, Barkley and Stones, Everton are a form team in the League just now and will feel they have the chance to indulge against their Merseyside rivals today.

Stones, however, doesn’t make the squad today, and Funes Mori gets his first taste of the Merseyside derby’s rough and tumble alongside Jagielka in the heart of the defence. Even more worrying for Everton is the fact that Coleman doesn't make the lineup either. With both Coleman and Baines missing, two youngsters, Galloway and Browning, make the starting XI. Everton will be facing Coutinho, Ings and Sturridge without three of their starting back four.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are under huge pressure. Brendan Rodgers is a target in the crosshairs of the press who think he’s ripe for the chop, and the poor form coupled with the money he’s spent make him vulnerable.

Rodgers sticks with three at the back today, but Liverpool fans will probably rejoice at the fact that Lovren is injured. They’ll be doubly rejoicing at the return of Daniel Sturridge, who played last week, but wasn’t fit enough to be included in Roy Hodgson’s England squad. They also have a solid midfield pairing of Lucas Leiva and James Milner who will, theoretically, shore up the team and stop the dangerous Everton front four from ripping Liverpool up on the counter attack.

Here are the lineups:
