Everton team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Everton welcome local rivals Liverpool to Goodison Park for the 287th Merseyside derby on Monday night looking to delay their neighbours' inevitable title celebrations.

There is a chance that victory for Liverpool could see them crowned champions for the first time in 30 years at the home of one of their greatest rivals, should Manchester City lose to Burnley earlier in the weekend.

The Toffees will be desperate to avoid that fate, but they have failed to win any of their last 21 derby meetings in a drought which stretches back almost a full decade.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Carlo Ancelotti's side ahead of the showdown.
