Liverpool and Everton clash for the 239th time tonight, with Toffees boss Rafa Benitez achieving a feat not seen since 1894 when he takes to the dugout at Goodison Park.
The Spaniard, 61, is the first manager in 127 years to take charge of both Merseyside clubs in a derby. Yet Benitez will have little time to bask in that achievement in frosty conditions this evening.
The Toffees have just one win from their last nine league games, with Sunday's defeat at Brentford triggering a vitriolic response from the travelling fans in west London.
