London: Liverpool`s new owners John W Henry and Tom Werner changed their minds and decided to attend Sunday`s local derby away to Everton after originally saying they would wait for a home match.
Henry`s New England Sports Ventures, owners of the Boston Red Sox, completed a takeover of the Premier League club on Friday.Henry said at the time that he and NESV chairman Werner would wait and have their first experience with supporters at Anfield, Liverpool`s home stadium. "We`re football fans and we`re here to root on the team and hopefully let the focus be on the pitch," Werner told a channel at Goodison Park on Sunday."I know this is a very important game. It`s a very exciting day for both teams and I want to take in the experience." Liverpool head into the game in the relegation zone with just six points from seven games -- the same as Everton who sit a place above them in 17th. Bureau Report
