The Merseyside Derby (Feat. Stephen Warnock)
from The Football Weekend
EVERTON host LIVERPOOL at Goodison Park for one of the great old rivalries of English football. Liverpool are flying coming into this one—or at least they were. Top of the league (and the new Champions League table), they did have a blip in midweek with the draw at Newcastle. Everton are reeling as usual this season, though they did smash Wolves 4-0 on Wednesday. Can they take heart from that, and learn a bit from Newcastle’s approach against these opponents just a few days ago, to disrupt Arne Slot’s title-chasers and snatch the points for themselves? After all, it was defeat in this fixture seven months ago that derailed Liverpool’s last title challenge. Joining us to muse on that question is Stephen Warnock, an analyst and co-commentator for the Premier League on NBC here in the U.S. and for Sky Sports and more over in the U.K. An accomplished left back at the top level in England, he also started his career in the Liverpool academy and broke through into the first team, so he’s walked out onto that pitch at Goodison for this very fixture. He shares some derby memories and some insight into how this one might shake out. If you're enjoying The Football Weekend, please leave us a rating and review! It will help spread the good word.
