Everton's Goodison Park Set For Emotional Last Merseyside Derby
Goodison Park, home of Everton since 1892, plays host to the Merseyside derby for the final time on Wednesday as the Toffees aim to derail Liverpool's Premier League title charge. Everton will move to a new state-of-the-art 53,000 capacity ground on Liverpool's Bramley Moore Dock next season when they finally leave behind England's first major football stadium. The origins of Goodison gave birth to the rivalry between the city's two clubs. Everton, formed in 1878, once called Anfield their home before a dispute over rent between their landlord John Houlding and the club's board.
