Everton host Liverpool in the 233rd Merseyside derby on Sunday.

Marco Silva’s appointment did not change Everton’s recent dismal history in the fixture, with a last-gasp 1-0 defeat at Anfield in December making it 19 matches without a win dating back to October 2010.

Here, Press Association Sport looks at some classic Merseyside derbies.

The best recent match between the sides was a humdinger at Goodison Park in November 2013. There was early drama when Philippe Coutinho’s opener was cancelled out inside 10 minutes by Kevin Mirallas. Luis Suarez restored Liverpool’s lead and that was the way it stayed until Romelu Lukaku equalised 18 minutes from time. The home fans were delirious when the Belgian put Everton ahead 10 minutes later but substitute Daniel Sturridge earned Liverpool a point with an 89th-minute header.
