What's the biggest derby in the Premier League?
-
Local rivalries were resumed this weekend with a couple of big game derbies between clubs sharing the same cities – but with very little else in common.
With at least 12 teams in the Premier League that can claim fierce local rivals there will be more big games that divide regions this season – but which one can claim to be the the mother of all derbies?
Liverpool vs Everton 4
Man Utd vs Man City 1
Aston Villa vs Birmingham 0
Sunderland vs Newcastle 2
Chelsea vs Fulham 0
Arsenal vs Tottenham 1 -
Sunderland vs Newcastle...
Look at their fans..its written all over their faces...northern louts ! -
Liverpool & Everton.
They are the most matched pair. -
my vote goes to Arsenal vs Spurs
-
man u and man city
-
An interesting fact i found about Liverpool vs Everton...
The rivalry between the two teams is not purely based on the proximity of the clubs to each other, but is also due to the fact that Liverpool FC was born as a result of a dispute in the boardroom at Everton Football Club.

There's also Charlton vs Crystal Palace.
Bolton vs Wigan can be considered too as both clubs hail from Manchester region.
Leeds vs Bradford because both are from West Yorkshire.
Sheffield Wed vs Barnsley (South Yorkshire).
However, the most exciting derby can be found in Glasgow. Sectarian differences is the main cause for hostilities between Rangers and Celtic fans. -

haha true... can try searching wiki on this. Another fact is that pool started out in blue kits!Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:no everton no pool? -
glasgow celtic...they go a very long way...a derby day will never end without bloodshed
-
Liverpool vs Everton
-
magpies v mackems
-
sheffield fc (not sheff utd) vs hallam fc
they go the longest way back because it's the oldest derby in the world and sheff fc is the oldest club in the world.
for epl, i think it would be arsenal vs spurs.......manchester derby only having a run recently, midlands derby....nobody gives a damn outside midlands, same as tyne tees, tyne wear, south coast derbies...............
just get the feeling the rivalry of the fans between pool and everton not as intense as spurs and arsenal -
Arsenal vs Man Utd. That beats many of the local derbies.

but opposing fans do sit together.Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:i vote pool everton of course. red cards and brawls always a must
