Everton were bottom of the Premier League when they welcomed fourth-placed Liverpool in November 1994. Having sacked Mike Walker after the club's then worst start to a league season, Joe Royle oversaw the sweetest of new manager bounces. Second-half goals from Duncan Ferguson - a loan signing later made permanent - and Paul Rideout late on secured a famous Goodison win.

David Moyes will take charge of his 23rd Merseyside derby as Everton manager on Wednesday and will be hoping for a similar result to his first. In 2004, the Scot oversaw the Toffees' first derby day victory for five years with Lee Carsley's long-range strike securing a nervy 1-0 win. At the time, it moved Moyes' side 12 points clear of their city rivals.

A double from Andy Johnson after Tim Cahill's opener secured Everton's biggest derby win for 42 years in September 2006. Johnson's second late on to seal the victory was notable for a remarkable piece of goalkeeping by Pepe Reina, who essentially threw the ball up for the striker to head in on the goalline.

Scenes of jubilation for Everton fans in Goodison Park, scenes of confusion for watching live on ITV. When Dan Gosling fired home a dramatic winner two minutes from the end of extra time, the broadcaster had cut to an advertising break, switching back to live coverage in time to capture wild celebrations as the Toffees reached the FA Cup fifth round.

"You lost the league at Goodison Park", was the chant gleefully ringing round the stadium after a dominant win all but ended Liverpool's Premier League title bid in Jurgen Klopp's final season in charge. Jarrad Branthwaite's strike and a towering header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave Everton their first home Merseyside derby win since October 2010 amid a thunderous atmosphere under the lights.
