Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that Everton supporters will be delighted to "see the back of" Steven Gerrard.
The midfielder will end his 25-year association with Liverpool when he joins MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States in the summer.
Gerrard, who is a lifelong Reds fan, has scored 10 goals in 32 matches against Everton, and unless Liverpool face their local rivals in the Europa League, Saturday will be the captain's final Merseyside derby.
"I'm sure they'll be glad to see the back of Steven," Rodgers told reporters in this afternoon's press conference. "He's been an incredible player for this club. He has played in so many derbies and been outstanding in them.
"He always wants to win for his club and it will be no different this weekend. He possesses remarkable quality and a focus to get the team a result."
Gerrard signed for Liverpool when he was eight years old.
