DANNY MURPHY: Everton have been in dire straits for a while, but to suggest relegation might be good for them is NONSENSE... let's hope Dele Alli can be their saviour, but Liverpool's frontline are in rampant form

Liverpool supporters are split over whether they want to see Everton relegated or not.

Older fans are more likely to wish ill on the Bluenoses because it removes the only bragging rights they have left – that they've been in the top flight longer than Liverpool.

Younger Reds will not want to miss out on the whole raucous derby occasion and a solid six points every season.

Personally, I'd like Everton to survive. It's good for the city to have two Premier League teams, commercially and atmospherically.
