Everton defender Seamus Coleman has told The Express that the club’s record against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby is embarrassing.

Coleman made the comments ahead of the Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield next Sunday.

The Toffees have not won against the Reds in eight years, with Everton’s last victory in the Merseyside derby coming back in October 2010.

Republic of Ireland international defender Coleman – who earns £38,000 per week as salary, according to spotrac.com – has admitted that Everton’s record against Liverpool is embarrassing.

The 30-year-old right-back told The Express: “It is quite embarrassing that is the last time we beat them.

“Look, I don’t want to say the same old things I have said before every derby and then we don’t turn up. We have to turn up and do it on the pitch.”

Same old story?

Everton are in good form at the moment and have won five of their past seven Premier League matches.

However, Liverpool have a better team and will head into the Merseyside derby next weekend as favourites.

Playing at Anfield is also going to hand Jurgen Klopp’s an advantage, and it will be a surprise if Liverpool lose to Everton in the Premier League next weekend.

Liverpool are second in the Premier League table at the moment, while Everton currently find themselves sixth in the standings.
