Anytime Liverpool squares off against Everton in a Merseyside Derby, it's worth paying attention. And the stakes are especially high when the crosstown rivals square off today (Jan. 5) in the third round of the FA Cup.

Liverpool are the favorites, having raced out to a big lead in the Premier League table. And today's match is at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground, where Everton haven't won since 1999. But the Toffees have a few things going for them this time around: They've been playing better under new manager Carlo Ancelotti and Liverpool had a packed schedule during December between league matches and the Club World Cup. In other words an upset could be in the making.
