10 players who played for both Liverpool FC and Everton FC

Here are 10 players who line-up for Liverpool and Everton.

We are about a week away from one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season: Everton  vs Liverpool. The Merseyside Derby promises to be a cracker.

Everton have never been stronger and Liverpool are fighting tooth and nail to stay ahead of the chasing pack.

However, this fixture is rather peculiar given that Everton are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table with a two-point lead over Liverpool.

A win for the noisy blue neighbours will be a huge confidence booster for the Toffies and help to solidfy a mild sense of concern among Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

A Liverpool win, which is expected, will see the Reds take a one-point lead over Blues.

Despite the long-standing club rivalry that has seen these teams play each other 234 times, the history of players that have lined-up for both teams is quite intriguing.

But it’s been 18 years since anyone has directly switched between these two rivals.

It has happened though. Here are 10 of them.

Shankly’s words would ring true: “I’ve always said, we had the best two teams on Merseyside…Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves!”

As a Liverpool fan, it is essential to note that Everton has not been able to beat Liverpool in the Premier League in an entire decade. With this team, and with home advantage, if Everton still manage not to win, then I think they might just never be able to do it!
