The Manchester and Merseyside Derbies: Who Wins?

Manchester and Merseyside Derbies

Weekends in the Premier League don’t get any bigger than this. Game week 16 will be featuring three derbies, West Ham vs. Chelsea, Liverpool vs. Everton and Manchester United vs. Manchester City. You can as well call it the Derby Weekend.

Most fans, although aware of the cross-town rivalry in London, will be looking forward to both the Merseyside and Manchester derbies. Both games are the biggest events that will be happening in the Premier League this weekend.

As we all look forward to both encounters, here’s a preview of both games.

Liverpool vs. Everton

After what seemed like a terrible start to the season under Ronald Koeman, Everton decided to move things forward under Sam Allardyce. As fate would have it, it ended up being a great move. They’ve won all their games under the tutelage of Big Sam, scoring an average of 3 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in all games.
