That lot are coming over from across the park and Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are looking forward to another derby day clash with the happy neighbours.

Rival Recon returns as Hari welcomes on football editor for CBS Sports.com & one half of the Double Pivot podcast Mike Goodman, to preview the upcoming Merseyside Derby this Saturday at Anfield.
After recent set-backs against Spurs and Brighton dampened the early season momentum of Klopp’s side somewhat, the Reds will be looking to make an emphatic statement when they take on the blues at Anfield this Saturday. Jota will return, but it appears as though Andy Robertson could be out for a prolonged period after dislocating his shoulder.
Listen in to Hari’s chat with Mike to get a better insight into how Everton are fairing this season and how Dyche is going about developing this side into a more robust and surprisingly progressive unit.
On today's episode Dave looks at some homegrown players that could be of interest to Liverpool. The two players could address two problem positions for Liverpool with a versatile 6 who could also cover RB and CB, and a LB who could potentially grow into an option in midfield, or perhaps be part on winger rotation, both however don the Blue of Chelsea.
Join co-hosts Gae and her team as the ladies give their valuable opinions and share their insight on Liverpool FC! Watch out - the rants are legendary!

On today's episode with the international break nearly over! Dave can finally look towards the Everton game, as he looks at their form in the season so far. He also looks through the news surrounding LFC.Â
On episode 371 of The Anfield Index Podcast, Trev Downey hosts the full panel of Kam Brainch, Guy Drinkel, Karl Coppack and Lisa Marie Hanahan as they delve into topics as diverse as the solving the problem of Robertson's absence, the whiff of corruption coming from the PGMOL, derby highlights and lowlights, shed sanctuaries, working men's clubs, Cliff Richard and the tragic end of Guy's promising dancing career.
Guy is in the hosting chair and is joined by Karl to discuss Liverpool's next game as Klopp's men welcome Everton to Anfield for the first Merseyside Derby of the season. They look at both sides, with Everton picking up their biggest win of the season in their last fixture, was this their blueprint side to build around? They also look at Liverpool's South American issue with another 12:30 kick off causing travel issues, also with Robertson's injury will Tsimikas step up? They also make their Argentina Premier League XI's continuing on from the previous podcast.Â
Paul, Lubo and Matt are back to check in on the results and events of recent weeks in Liverpool’s season. They discuss their frustrations with the refereeing in the Premier League and if there is a possibility for change. The guys then look at the positive aspects of the performances and what is to come from what should be a less difficult stretch of games.
On the second bonus Transfer Podcast of the international break, Trev Downey and Dave Davis have a wide-ranging conversation around personnel at LFC. The lads begin with a chat about the absence of Curtis Jones and which player might take advantage of that to stake a claim. This inevitably leads to a debate about the best midfield formation based on current options and, even more inevitably, it also leads to a discussion about who and what profile of player the Reds need to recruit in January. There is a discussion about the block of fixtures before and after the next international break not only in relation to the make-up of the midfield but also the defence, in the wake of the huge blow of losing Andy Robertson. Again, the lads ponder what Jürgen may do in the absence of the Scot and there's a shout both agree upon which will likely raise a few eyebrows. Finally, the focus of conversation shifts to the rumours surrounding Max Eberl and Liverpool's intention to rival Bayern Munich as suitors for his services, before the pod ends with some talk of Dynasty Media's investment and what, if anything, it might mean for the club and its owners.
