Five iconic Merseyside derbies at Goodison Park as Everton and Liverpool prepare for last ever clash at Grand Old Lady THE Grand Old Lady will tonight open her door to the neighbours from across Stanley Park for one last time.

The German had not lost there over nine years but — on April 24, 2024 — Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jarrad Branthwaite scored as Everton won 2-0 in a first Goodison victory over their rivals since 2010.

Victory would go a long way to suggesting that boss David Moyes’ second coming will result in salvation and a guarantee that the club’s fabulous new £800million home will open to Premier League football next season.

This FA Cup clash pitted the holders, Everton, against the reigning league champions and produced such a demand for tickets that it was also shown on giant screens at Anfield.

The Reds were the First Division champions and again top of the table going into this FA Cup fifth-round replay but Dalglish’s sudden departure arguably cost them a second successive title defence — and began a 30-year wait for another one.
