Everton playing Liverpool at Anfield is stressful enough but a Merseyside Derby while Mercury is in retrograde could mean complete mayhem. When Mercury enters retrograde, things get chaotic as the planet moves around the Sun faster than the Earth, causing the planet to appear to be going backwards.

During this period, miscommunication and uneasy feelings are common and all astrological signs are cautioned to choose their words wisely, especially when dealing with Liverpool fans.

Sunday’s game will have some tumultuous moments but Everton will learn from any missteps on the pitch to fare better in the second half of the season. The retrograde lasts until December 22nd and we will begin to get more closure near the tail end of it when injured players begin to rejoin the squad.

As a Libra, new manager Big Sam is a natural communicator and he loves to give advice. Allardyce has been concentrating on the mental aspect of the game which will serve the players well because derbies are always emotional.

All Blues fans really want for Christmas is a win over the Reds but after the season we’ve had so far, it’s important to stay strong and survive. Hydration will be key.

To help, here is a guide to what Everton fans will be drinking during the game, according to your astrological sign:
