Hi there and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of tonight's Merseyside derby at Anfield where Liverpool welcome neighbours Everton.

And it's full-time at Anfield. Liverpool stroll to three points over Everton.

Liverpool win a corner - they're looking quite content to hold possession until the final whistle blows. They move four points ahead of their great rivals with this victory.

Mirallas is ushered out of play and he shows his frustrations. Three minutes to be added on.

Cissokho - whose had a solid game at full back - times his tackle perfectly on McGeady to put the Irishman's run to a stop.

Moses finds himself in a good position out wide but instead of squaring the ball, he shoots from a tight angle and the shot hits the side netting.

Everton fans are heading for the exit with just over five minutes to play. It hasn't been a good night for the visitors.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League home matches (W7-D1), their best streak in a single season since a 12-match unbeaten streak between August 2011 – February 2012 (W4-D8).

Everton hold onto possession but aren't creating too many chances to worry Liverpool at the moment.

Final change for Liverpool as Luis Alberto replaces Coutinho.

Everton aren't giving up just yet - some tidy work from Mirallas sees McCarthy finding the ball in area, he squares the ball across the face of goal but Naismith is unable to reach it.

Barkley - returning after missing out with a broken toe - is replaced by Aiden McGeady.

There have been three red cards tonight in other Premier League games tonight, equalling the record for the most on a single Tuesday matchday, achieved on six previous occasions (last Dec 28th 2010).

Liverpool make their second change as Martin Kelly replaces Flanagan.

Victor Moses has come on in place of Sturridge who won't get his hat-trick tonight.

Liverpool show their devastating counter-attacking skills for the umpteenth time as Suarez comes forward, plays a really smart pass to Sturridge but with a hat-trick on his mind, decides to shoot when a pass across goal was the better option. Goal-kick.

Barkley finds himself with some space in the middle of the park and drives a low shot at goal which Mignolet saves.

Suarez skips past a challenge before finding Sturridge on the edge of the area but loses the ball after trying to pick out Coutinho's surging run.

Barkley shirks his way past two Liverpool challenges before firing at Mignolet who pushes the ball away.

Liverpool have scored four goals in a top-flight Merseyside derby for the first time since their 5-0 Div 1 away win in November 1982, and for the first time at home since their 4-0 Division One home win, March 1972.

Osman runs the ball out of play and throws his hands up in frustration.
