Fernando Torres was the difference between the two sides in this fixture last season, scoring both goals in Liverpool's 2-0 win, but he is unlikely to start on Sunday. With Ryan Babel in Rafael Benitez's bad books after comments in the press about his manager this week, David Ngog is expected to lead the attack.
For Everton, Marouane Fellaini and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov return from suspension but supporters will be looking to Tim Cahill to cause problems for the Liverpool defence, as he has so often in recent derbies.
