Matches between Liverpool and Everton were almost always close affairs. Especially during the 1960s when both Liverpool FC and Everton FC were regular winners of domestic trophies, with Merseyside derbies becoming one of the most entertaining games to watch. However while Liverpool became stronger and stronger during the 1970s and 1980s, Everton went through a relatively miserable spell winning very few trophies.

To almost all football fans around the world, derby days are something special in their own football calendars. In the light of this, English football derbies are something special.

The delay of the EUROs to 2021, I believe, will have a positive impact on the English national team, ultimately giving them a greater chance to win some silverware.
