Everton set for biggest Merseyside derby feat since 1964 as Liverpool look completely crushed
Everton look like they could absolutely smash Liverpool in the Merseyside derby this weekend, and it could even be the Blues’ biggest win in the contest since 1964 if they show no mercy.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off for Arne Slot at Liverpool, and it’s a beautiful sight to see ahead of a first-ever Merseyside derby encounter at Hill Dickinson this Sunday.
Lots has changed since the reverse fixture at Anfield earlier in the season, with some of the Reds’ best players like Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson wanting out of the club at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, on the right side of the city, David Moyes looks to be leading the Toffees towards a charge for European football, while they only sit five points behind their rivals with six Premier League games remaining.
Everton beat Liverpool 4-0 back in 1964, and it would be no surprise to see the same result occur this weekend.

Hugo Ekitike’s major injury adds to Liverpool woes
Everton picked up an important point at Brentford last time out in the league, as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s stoppage-time leveller had Evertonians rejoicing once more.
The Blues will have had a full week of preparation for this historic clash on the Banks of the Royal Mersey. But the Reds suffered at Anfield midweek, as Hugo Ekitike’s season-ending injury added to the frustration of being knocked out of the Champions League by PSG.
| Result | Competition | Date |
| Everton 3-0 Liverpool | Premier League | 9 Sept 2006 |
| Everton 3-1 Liverpool | English first division | 27 Aug 1966 |
| Liverpool 0-4 Everton | English first division | 19 Sept 1964 |
| Liverpool 0-5 Everton | English first division | 3 Oct 1914 |
As seen in the table above, Everton’s 4-0 win against Liverpool on 19 September 1964 came 61 years ago, and since then, the Toffees have never scored four goals in a derby-day victory.
Liverpool have now lost four of their last five games in all competitions, and tensions are growing surrounding the future of Slot, who has seemingly lost the trust of many supporters.
The Reds have won just three times in their last 10 games, and coming away from Hill Dickinson with three points just doesn’t seem like it could be possible right now.
With that being said, Everton could put their arch nemesis to the sword and equal or better the 4-0 result that they were last on the right side of 61 years ago.
Hill Dickinson will scare Liverpool
Everton and their fans are use to Hill Dickinson now, and games like the Chelsea win from a couple of weeks ago have shown the force that the ground can be.
The 1878s have a planned tifo display for the Liverpool game, as the Toffees will no doubt be in fine voice to roar their team over the line.
Liverpool now has had the only thing good about their season stripped away with the Champions League, and Slot will be anxious knowing that there is no way back for him if his side if they lose.
With that being said, the momentum of all the factors coming into the game heavily rests with Everton, and it feels like the Reds could be on the verge of complete capitulation at Hill Dickinson.
