The Merseyside Derby—arguably the greatest sporting rivalry in the world (yes, above Red Sox-Yankees, Brady-Manning, and Barcelona-Real Madrid)—has been contested 221 times since 1984, with Liverpool leading the series over Everton 88-67-66. This Tuesday, the 222nd fixture will take place at Anfield. This match promises to be one of most epic of them all, with Liverpool leading Everton by only one point in the league table—a point that's currently the difference between a prestigious 4th place Champions League spot and 5th place's 10 month Europa League escapade. As we look toward to the future, a look back the Derby's storied history is warranted through The 15 Craziest Merseyside Derby Moments as Told Through GIFs.
