Since the 1-3 away in 1986/87, I've now had 38 years of consciously being aware of these games. 38 years of nerve wracking days where the mouth gets drier by the hour. After a trawl through the records (geek alert), I've discovered Everton's derby record during these years now stands at:
P
85 W
14 D
32 L
39
If you transpose those results to a 38 game season, it is a 33 point season. I actually feel for the younger Blues because our record since the turn of the century is.
P
52 W
5 D
20 L
27
Which transposes to a 38 game season of 26 points!!!
Poor youngsters

Anyway, my point is we're probably gonna lose so lets just go with the flow and hope some of our players at least kick some of their players up in the air a few times and Jurgen Klopp rips his hamstring clean off his thigh during one of his 'my-willy-is-tiny-so-I-have-to-act-big' goal celebrations!!
