Arteta is struggling with a back injury and may need a late fitness

Team Stats : The Reds are aiming for a win in this to complete their
eleventh league double over the Blues. It would be their first
double since the 2000-01 season. That season a late Gary McAllister
goal sealed a 3-2 win for the Reds.

Everton haven't won at Anfield since a Kevin Campbell winner in 1999-
00 season.

actually won away from Goodison since January at Portsmouth.

ran out convincing winners on the day. That is the still the Reds'
only home loss of the season.

goal against Everton.

this match. He is the clubs leading scorer this season with 19 goals
so far. He is also the club's leading league scorer this season with
8.

would also take him to 20 Liverpool goals in all competitions. Cisse
himself has proved quite good at scoring as a sub. He already has 6
to his name as a Red which has him joint second in the scoring sub
charts. He has a long way to reach first though - David Fairclough
on 18.

He has scored 6 goals against Everton. For Everton it is Duncan
Ferguson who leads the scoring charts in the league with 4.

the derby with 15. Jamie Carragher is just one appearance behind him
on 14.
