Merseyside Derby live as Everton play host to Liverpool for first time at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Bob has never never been to the new stadium at Bramley Moore dock. He can't wait for the match to start and is hoping for a 3-1 win for the Blues.

Jason predicts a 2-0 win for Everton, with Beto first goalscorer. Craig wants a 3-0, and predicts James Garner to score anytime.

Perhaps Everton's lucky mascot for the day, Criag tells us: "I've been to two Derby games before before, and considering our record against them, we won both of them. It was a 3-0 game when Andy Johnson scored, and the 2-1 where Dan Gosling scored, so I'm hoping for the hat-trick today.

"Because of all my memories are tied up with Goodison Park, I get emotional walking to the new ground, because that's the new, but I know she is there in the background, so I feel a bit guilty. I've been to some unbelievable games at Goodison, the atmosphere, under the lights on those night games, very very special.

"But I think they've done a really good job with this stadium, and with more and more games, especially the one at Chelsea, its starting to feel more and more like home, and we're expecting an electric atmosphere today."
