Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of the 226th Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton from Anfield. The Stanley Park neighbours face off once again, but this time with plenty of distractions in the air. Everton have Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United to consider, while the red half of Merseyside are preparing for a Europa League last four encounter. As always in these feisty derby affairs, the fans will soon remind the players of the occasion this evening. I'm Pete Hall (@PeteHall86) and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

34'

Divock Origi gets inside Oviedo, but his touch lets him down at the vital time. Looked to be offside.

32'

Everton look very open at the back, again. Lallana again is allowed to get the shot away, but Stones is across to block.

31'

Crowd are bang up for this, as the challenges continue to fly in. Everton on a rare foray forward, but Sakho is standing firm.

30'

SAVE! Robles again to the rescue. Stones plays Firmino onside, the Brazilian latches on to Milner's ball over the top, but can't beat Robles, who sticks out a leg to deny Liverpool again.

All about Adam...

28'

Best spell of the match for Liverpool. Can they make this pressure count? Everton camped in their penalty area.

26'

Coutinho lines up a free-kick, goes to the goalkeeper's side, but it is always heading wide.

25'

Two fierce challenges from Ramiro Funes Mori and James McCarthy go unpunished by referee Madley. They were much worse than Milners...

23'

CLOSE! Lallana again with the chance, but he guides a header just wide. He just uses the pace on the ball, but it lacked direction.

22'

Brilliant defending from Sakho. Lukaku is in, looks to have held off the LIverpool centre-back, but Sakho does superbly to hook his leg around Lukaku to make the tackle.

20'

Coutinho does well to shift the ball out of his feet to get the shot away, but it is always missing the target. Even from that distance, with his ability, Coutinho is entitled to have a go.

19'

CLOSE! Great pace on the break from Mirallas, he skips through the challenge, but lashes at his shot, and the ball flies high and wide.

18'

A miss-hit cross from Alberto Moreno finds Lallana at the back post, he heads across goal, but John Stones clears emphatically.

17'

Everon again counter, but the final pass is lacking once more. Liverpool have to be wary of such a threat.

Down the M62...

15'

Lallana clips the heels for Barkley, but escapes a booking. Great intensity again.

14'

Fantastic ball over the top from Coutinho plays in Lallana again, but his cross is well cleared by Baines with several red shirts closing in.

12'

Everton really dangerous on the counter. Barkley again carries it forward, Mamadou Sakho does he best to cut it out, the loose ball falls to Mirallas, who fires over the top.

11'

Liverpool's turn to have plenty of the ball, with the Toffees happy to sit back and soak up the pressure.

10'

Everton do not look like a team shorn of confidence. They are passing it around with plenty of confidence. Liverpool come again.

Ferocious start here at Anfield. Both teams committing plenty of men forward on the counter.
