The first FA Cup semi-final of the weekend is an intriguing fixture pitting together the two Merseyside giants with Everton holding a live chance of inflicting real pain on an out-of-form Liverpool side.
These are strange times for the Reds. The Carling Cup is in the trophy cabinet, but league results have been woeful this year and this proud team find themselves 33 points off Manchester United in the table - that sort of total has kept teams safe in years gone by! Damian Comolli has taken the flak for this poor state of affairs by receiving his marching orders this week.
Andy Carroll's last-minute winner at Blackburn in midweek earned Liverpool a first victory in five games but that's not enough to suggest they've turned a corner.
By contrast, Everton arrive in fine fettle -...

A match between two sides who really need a win for very different reasons. Blackburn were extremely poor at the weekend and let indiscipline get the better of them both in terms of poor defending and a late red card. As for Liverpool, by hook or by crook, they need to start winning league matches.

You could almost blindly lay Liverpool for every Premier League match they're involved in. They continue to be under-priced both home and away and the odds on offer about them winning games are based solely on reputation and some of the names in that squad. Ten days ago we took a huge price on Newcastle to beat them and they duly obliged in a game they pretty much dominated throughout.

The Latics showed no lack of character, spirit and endeavour when holding Chelsea to a draw last weekend, but I don't see lightning striking twice at the DW Stadium.
Liverpool are coming to the boil nicely under Kenny Dalglish. Their combination of pacey attack and very solid defence has developed into a good mix, especially so away from home where they have won five from eight.
In Luis Suarez the Reds have a goalscorer and proven point winner, while Craig Bellamy creates chances for all. I was even impressed by Jordan Henderson last weekend. The youngster has taken some stick this season but it takes time and he may be ready to really perform now.
Wigan will have gained some confidence from Saturday's point, but that could be their downfall....
