Liverpool’s hopes for a dream send-off for Jurgen Klopp with an unprecedented quadruple have taken a hit recently. After exits from the FA Cup and Europa League, they now face a critical Merseyside Derby against Everton as they continue their chase for the Premier League title. Currently, Liverpool is level with Arsenal at the top, but with Manchester City just a point behind and with a game in hand, the pressure is immense.
Everton’s Battle for Survival Everton, on the other hand, is fighting for Premier League survival. Their recent victory over Nottingham Forest has given them a five-point buffer over the relegation zone. A win against their fierce rivals Liverpool could be pivotal, potentially extending their lead to eight points and easing their relegation fears significantly.
Liverpool’s Away Form vs. Everton’s Home Record While Liverpool have been strong on the road, winning seven of their last ten league away games, they’ve also shown vulnerability by conceding in four of their last five away matches. Everton has been robust at Goodison Park, scoring in each of their last five home games, which sets the stage for a competitive clash.
Given the history and the current form of both teams, an away win for Liverpool with both teams scoring is a compelling bet. Liverpool has managed to score exactly two goals in their last three victories over Everton, and the Toffees have consistently found the net at home, often scoring once. Therefore, a 2-1 win for Liverpool could be a likely outcome.
Mohamed Salah: The Key Man Mohamed Salah, rested last weekend, could be crucial in this fixture. His record against Everton is impressive, with seven goals in ten derbies. His recent form suggests he could play a pivotal role, making him a strong candidate to score anytime during the game.
