Everton fans have reacted in shock as they could potentially face their hated neighbours four times in the next five weeks.
The Toffees do not have a pretty record against the Reds in the Premier League era. Against their cross-city rivals, they have beaten them just once during the current decade, which was a 2-0 win over Roy Hodgson’s Liverpool.

The Blues have failed to win any of the last 19 Merseyside derbies in all competitions, 17 of these have been in the Premier League — their worst ever run in this fixture.
If Everton and Liverpool progress in the League Cup, there’s a chance of FOUR derbies in five weeks… #EFC

First up is a Premier League tie against the Reds at Anfield tonight. They will then face them in the third round of the FA Cup and could potentially play two legs of a Carabao Cup semi-final versus Jurgen Klopp’s side if both get through their respective quarter-final games.
Supporters were in disbelief about the potential calendar in the next five weeks and made their feelings clear on social media.
Here you will find some of the best responses from Everton fans:

3 of them at Anfield. Law of averages surely comes into play here.
