Liverpool 4-0 Everton: Barclays Premier League - Live - as it happened

Full time: Liverpool 4-0 Everton

Everton finally put out of their misery but could the pain be only on the way for Roberto Martinez? The Spaniard is a dead man walking after a resounding defeat to Liverpool. Divock Origi, who later went off with a badly sprained ankle, Mamadou Sakho, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho got the goals for Jurgen Klopp in his first Merseyside derby which keeps alive the club's attempts to qualify for Europe via the league. Everton warm-up for the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United with a humiliating defeat, made worse by the dismissal of Ramiro Funes Mori and possible injury for John Stones.

Well that is all we have time for on this Premier League live text. We're back tomorrow with coverage of Arsenal vs West Brom but until then, goodbye.

Robles keeps out a floated Sturridge effort from all of 25 yards. This has had the feel of a pre-season game for the last 20 minutes or so.

Into seven added minutes at Anfield. Time for Liverpool to add to their four.

Alberto Moreno lashes one well wide of Robles' goal, which has led a charmed life despite seeing over 30 shots rain down on it from Liverpool. Everton could do with hitting the fast-forward button on the closing minutes.

'Ole' accompanying every successful pass from a Liverpool player and it really it party time at Anfield, with their near neighbours the victims. Jordon Ibe on for James Milner for the hosts.

Goal: Liverpool 4-0 Everton (Philippe Coutinho)

Still a little over a quarter of an hour remaining and Liverpool have their fourth. Clyne and Allen feed the ball across the penalty area and Coutinho takes on touch to control and cuts the ball into the corner beyond Robles. Roberto Martinez will surely not survive this.

All sorts going on in the Everton box and Liverpool should really have a fourth but the ball eventually goes behind off Sturridge. This has been an ugly performance from Everton. Now Allen is denied by McCarthy as Liverpool queue up to add to the lead.

Liverpool laying siege on the Everton goal. Coutinho winds up but his effort is block and now Moreno's drive is beaten out by Robles. The 10-men will do well to keep this below five or six.

Not sure this evening could have gone worse for Everton. Already short of defensive options, Ramiro Funes Mori will serve a three-game suspension and John Stones must now be considered a fitness doubt for the game. Manchester United will be picking their lips. Another chance for Liverpool as Besic blocks Coutinho's effort.

Goal: Liverpool 3-0 Everton (Daniel Sturridge)

This could be a long last 30 minutes for Everton. Daniel Sturridge scores within five minutes of coming on, as Joe Allen nips in after John Stones' pass back and feeds the England man who makes no mistake. John Stones leaves the field to be replaced by Steven Pienaar - not ideal for a team already short of defenders.

That is Funes Mor out of the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United and two subsequent league matches against Bournemouth and Leicester - should Everton decide against an appeal which I would suggest would be pretty frivolous. Divock Origi meanwhile, we wait to hear the extent of the damage to his ankle ligaments which could end his summer and any ambitions of playing at the European Championships.

Origi leaves the pitch on a stretcher with his head in his hands and Daniel Sturridge comes on in his place. Jurgen Klopp looks gutted for his leading striker, who has scored five goals in his last five appearances.

Red card: Ramiro Funes Mori (Everton)

Everton's night goes from bad to worse. Funes Mori lunges in high on Divock Origi and leaves the Belgian sprawling. He lashes the ball away in frustration and referee Roberto Madley takes his time before showing a straight red card. Origi needs a stretcher.

Oviedo connects with a very dodgy elbow on the side of Alberto Moreno's head, and he is lucky to escape with only a ticking off from referee Madley.

Mo Besic on for Everton as Gareth Barry's record-breaking Premier League appearance comes to a premature end. Second half under way at Anfield.

Half time: Liverpool 2-0 Everton

A half of two halves. Liverpool and Everton were very even in the first 22-and-a-half minutes but after that the hosts pulled away have a healthy lead at the break. A pair of headers from Divock Origi and Mamadou Sakho, from James Milner crosses, has pilled the pressure on Roberto Martinez whose side have fallen away badly after an encouraging start - a microcosm for their season.

Goal: Liverpool 2-0 Everton (Mamadou Sakho)

The Reds put the icing on a fine first half showing with a deserved second goal. James Milner gets free down the left and his chipped cross finds Sakho unmarked and he blasts a header past Robles.

Goal: Liverpool 1-0 Everton (Divock Origi)

Liverpool get the goal their first half display has deserved. James Milner whips a cross in from the right and as Robles hesitates, Origi gets in between Stones and Oviedo and heads into the corner. A fifth goal in as many appearances for the Belgian.

Yellow card for Aaron Lennon as he takes out James Milner. Another free-kick in a threatening position for Liverpool, but can they take advantage? Milner will take it after being fouled but he pulls it back and Clyne's shot is blocked.

Ross Barkley has looked like making something happen everytime he has got the ball and it takes a last ditch challenge from Alberto Moreno to prevent him running around the Liverpool back four. Less than 10 minutes until the break.

Lallana with another effort in anger which is blocked. Everton's decent spell seems a while away now with the Reds firmly in the ascendancy.

Joel Robles continue to keep Liverpool at bay. It's Firmino who breaks through now, beyond John Stones but the Everton 'keeper stays big and it stays 0-0.

Decent chance for Liverpool from a free-kick 25 yards from goal, but Coutinho's curls wide with Moreno frustrated despite having the preferred angle.

One team attacks, and then the other in this relentless game. Adam Lallana's shot is blocks, Robles keeps out Lucas' drive before the best chance of the lot as Clyne's cross picks out Lallana who heads wide. Robles was rooted to the spot while many Liverpool fans had already started celebrating the opening goal. It was not to be.

Mamadou Sakho vs Romelu Lukaku has the makings of a proper contest and after the first coming together between the pair it is advantage to the Liverpool defender. Lukaku looks like he has the run on Sakho after Baines' pass but the Frenchman bites back and makes a fine tackle.

Everton giving this a real go and they carve out their best chance of the game as Mirallas cuts inside Lovren but his drilled effort flies wastefully wide. Now Coutinho from a similar distance lofts over the bar. Entertaining opening quarter of the game.

Another opening for Everton as they momentarily have four on three but Mirallas is wasteful and curls the ball over the bar. Decent start from Martinez's men.

James Milner escaped a booking for a tackle on Barry and but he is shown a yellow now after he takes down Leighton Baines. A good 82 minutes to see out the remainder of the game.

Free-kick for Everton wide on the left after Barry is scythed down by James Milner. Baines' delivery is headed clear by Sakho. Liverpool break and they should be ahead as Adam Lallana scampers through but Robles makes a good low save.

Fast start to the game at Anfield with openings for both sides. Liverpool win an early free-kick which comes to nothing and Everton break away. Lukaku feeds Mirallas but the Reds eventually clear the danger. Good start.

You'll Never Walk Alone ringing around Anfield before kick-off. Bobby Madley is the man in the middle, fresh from his outing at the King Power Stadium as Jon Moss' assistant. Under way in the 226th Merseyside derby.

Another former Liverpool player, Andy Carroll, is on the scoresheet on the night of the Merseyside derby. He puts West Ham ahead over Watford to once again enhance his England claim.

With the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster having only just passed, there is sure to be an emotional atmosphere at Anfield tonight. Both teams are about to enter the cauldron with just minutes to go until kick-off.

Gareth Barry starts in midfield for Everton tonight, his 571st Premier League appearance, setting a new record in England's top division.

Jurgen Klopp has just been speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the game, and he comes across as laid back and relaxed as ever ahead of his first Merseyside derby. The rivalry between Liverpool and Everton means it will not possess quite the same intensity and hostility between the two sets of supporters.

If you're sensing that I am little underwhelmed by the prospect of tonight's fixture, then you might be right, but due to what has gone before as much as because of what might be coming. The last three meetings between the sides have produced three draws and four goals. The clash last October was Brendan Rodgers' last in charge of Liverpool and therefore Jurgen Klopp has his first taste of a Merseyside derby tonight.

News from La Liga were Barcelona have stormed into a two-goal lead thanks to Luis Suarez - formerly of Liverpool of course - netting twice. It hasn't been the most perfect of evenings for the Uruguayan forward however, having missed an absolute sitter to make it three.

Everton are winless in their last 11 meetings with Liverpool, dating back to the FA Cup tie between the pair in 2009. Dan Gosling got the extra time winner, in a game better remembered for broadcaster ITV going to an advertisement break during the game and returning to wild celebrations from the home support. Heady days.

Also worth noting that tonight could represent another pivotal moment in the La Liga title race with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all in action. One point separates the trio at the top and here is our look at how the title race may unfold.

Aside from our coverage of the Merseyside derby, we're across the rest of tonight's Premier League action in the form of a second live blog. Manchester United host Crystal Palace and Watford travel to West Ham United. Bar the Hammers, you imagine the other three sides would prefer tonight's games weren't happening at all ahead of the semi-finals at the weekend.

The two line-ups named by Jurgen Klopp and Roberto Martinez tells you everything you need to know about the importance of this game to both clubs and to the city of Liverpool.

Liverpool are what you would call full strength despite the game coming eight days before the trip to Villarreal. There are nine changes in all, with Divock Origi coming through a hamstring problem while Roberto Firmino also starts for the second game in succession. He and Lucas Leiva are the only survivors from the win at Bournemouth.

Aaron Lennon and Leighton Baines come through fitness tests to start for Everton. Martinez makes six changes in all from the draw with Southampton. James Mccarthy returns from suspension while Romelu Lukaku is also back.

Teams:

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino, Origi.

Everton: Joel, Baines, Funes Mori, Stones, Oviedo, McCarthy, Barry, Mirallas, Lennon, Barkley, Lukaku.

As for Liverpool, with European qualification via the league looking like a tough ask, their efforts are focused on the Europa League where they face Villarreal over two legs for a place in the final. Jurgen Klopp has not had things all his own way domestically but are the Reds coming into form at just the right time? How the home faithful would like another win over their bitter rivals.

Everton have been on a dismal run of late which has led to questions over the future of Roberto Martinez. The Toffees have won just one of their last eight Premier League matches, and face a huge week with Liverpool and then Manchester United to come at Wembley. Martinez is under notable pressure from the support, but a first win at Anfield since 1999 would go a long way to convincing the detractors he has a future.

We're expecting confirmation of both teams any minute now, but until then how do we expect both sides to line up?

Liverpool are likely to be without Divock Origi and Kolo Toure due to injuries suffering during the win over Bournemouth.

Everton are without Phil Jagielka and Seamus Coleman because of hamstring injuries but the likes of Aaron Lennon and Leighton Baines could feature after fitness tests.

This may be one of English football's greatest derbies - perhaps the greatest - with some of the country's finest players having graced it with their brilliance down the years, but it is no understatement that the 226th clash between Liverpool and Everton is arguably one of the most inconsequential of all. Both have endured horrid league campaigns, with the focus mainly on their route to silverware in the Europa League and FA Cup respectively. Tonight, in all likelihood, is a sideshow. Teams news and updates ahead of the 8pm kick-off at Anfield on the way.
