History of the Liverpool vs Everton rivalry

This rivalry dates back to the nineteenth century. Everton were founded in 1878, and from 1884 on played games at Anfield. But in 1892, a feud with ground owner and club chairman John Houlding resulted in Everton moving to Goodison Park, only about a half mile away. This in turn led to Houlding forming his own club, Liverpool FC, to play at Anfield.

Ever since, the two clubs have contested what has been called a “friendly derby”. In general, the fixture has not been subject to fan violence over the years. In addition, religious, political or social differences to not frame the rivalry as in many other derbies around the world. The atmosphere off the field may be friendly, but sometimes on the field things are different. Liverpool-Everton has seen the most all-time red cards for any Premier League fixture.
