Hyypia set to miss Merseyside derby

Liverpool skipper Sami Hyypia is expected to be banned from the most important Mersey derby in years following his red card at Old Trafford.

As if losing their influential defender after just four minutes of Saturday’s 4-0 defeat by Manchester United was not bad enough, the loss of Hyypia for the April 19 clash with Everton at Goodison Park is just as damaging.
