It wasn’t a game for the faintest of heart or the admirers of the “beautiful game,” but one thing the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield did have was drama. The game lacked a good amount of skill–especially in the first half–but it didn’t lack passion. The game was not only a local rivalry, but also had important table implications for both squads.
And it wasn’t the only important game this weekend in the English Premier League. Let’s look around the league and some important results.

It’s that time of year again, crosstown rivals Everton and Liverpool will face off at Anfield in another Merseyside derby. This derby will be another hard fought battle with goals being scarce and defense being tight. Both teams are coming in to the match in good form: Liverpool not tasting defeat in 6 matches, and Everton has not lost since October in the league (a 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Goodison Park was their last defeat).
Anfield should be hostile tomorrow, and Everton’s young squad will have to compose themselves if they hope to come out with the club’s first win at Liverpool’s fortress since 1999.

Liverpool have been trying to sign a suitable striker to pair along side and back-up Fernando Torres for a while now. The Robbie Keane experiment didn’t work out (but whose fault was that? Keane was not used correctly), and since then Liverpool have been on the market to make a smart, inexpensive signing for a quality striker. That isn’t an easy task, but Liverpool may have finally done it with the signing of Jovanovic, if it is as close as reported. Let’s look into that and a few other news stories other the world of Football.

So are their supporters.
After the dismal season Celtic is having so far (yes, better as of late) and the all-important 10 points they find themselves behind Rangers, the Hoops did what needed to be done. In what could/should be the best, most incredible transfer window to date for the Scottish giant, Celtic seemed poised and dedicated to chase down Rangers and claim the SPL title once again.
