The last Merseyside derby in the FA Cup was in the 2012 semi-finals at Wembley, with Liverpool winning 2-1 Graham Hughes/The TimesThe meeting of Liverpool and Everton in the Premier League this weekend will be followed by another Merseyside derby next month after they were paired in the FA Cup third-round draw last night. The two fixtures, both to be staged at Anfield, will provide stern early tests for Sam Allardyce, who was appointed as Everton manager last week. It is the first meeting in the third round between the neighbours since 1932 but they have contested many famous ties in the competition. Liverpool triumphed in the 1986 and 1989 finals, Everton won a fifth-round second replay in 1991 after the second match had finished 4-4. They have met in five semi-finals, with Everton winning once and Liverpool four times.
