Phil Jagielka stunner, crucial title race win – Everton’s best moments at Anfield
Everton travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday.
Everton are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches, but face a Reds side that have won all four of their opening games.
Everton have had a dismal history against Liverpool at Anfield, however, they will be confident after their recent run of positive results.
Here, Goodison News looks at the Blues’ top five moments in Merseyside derbies at the Reds’ home ground.

Everton won the First Division title in 1970, and it was helped by a victory at Anfield, against their local rivals.
Joe Royle and Alan Whittle sealed a 2-0 victory for the Toffees, which took them closer to securing the championship.
Harry Catterick’s side would go on to win the league by a total of nine points, despite trailing Leeds United by six heading into the final nine matches.
Graeme Sharpe stunner gives Everton victory – 20 October 1984

Phil Jagielka scores an absolute screamer – 27 September 2014
Everton looked to be heading towards a 1-0 loss after Steven Gerrard opened the scoring in the 65th minute.

The centre-back picked up the ball and released a wonderful half-volley, which Simon Mignolet could not stop from finding the top corner.
