Merseyside Derby — Liverpool vs Everton

The Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton is unique in that both clubs share Merseyside — and for most of its history, shared Anfield (Everton played there until 1892). It has been described as the friendliest derby in England because fans sit together without segregation in some sections, and because the socioeconomic divide is not as extreme as in other derbies. Liverpool have dominated the fixture since the 1980s, but Everton's 2–0 win in 2023 was their first victory at Anfield since 1999 — a 24-year gap.
