Welcome to a recap of our Q&A ahead of next Monday's Merseyside derby - the 242nd time Everton will face Liverpool in a competitive match.
There are plenty of issues to debate before the teams square off at Anfield following indifferent seasons for both clubs and Everton correspondent Joe Thomas and Liverpool counterpart Paul Gorst were on hand to field your queries.
For the second campaign in a row Everton are battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League and are in the drop zone on goal difference.

Liverpool have gone from chasing an unprecedented quadruple last year, to a mid-table medocrity in this. The Reds are out of both domestic competitions they won last year, and face a daunting last-16 clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

How will both sides line up for the match at Anfield? Which manager is under greater pressure to get a result? What are the broader consequences of defeat? Would victory for Liverpool reignite their top-four push? If Everton triumph will it give them the confidence to beat the drop? Joe and Paul answered these questions and more.
