Everton – Liverpool, Premier League Prediction

Everton took first victory against Cardiff with 3-0 as a guest after three consecutive losses. This is not new to Toffees. Often they play a strong game with a loud victory, followed by a big drop. Now, as well as Manchester United last week, they will do their best to stop Liverpool on their way to the title. This is one of the biggest local derbies in England. Everton is scoring often at home by having missed to score a goal in just two home games.

Liverpool smashed Watford with 5-0 during the week and played brilliantly. Something we did not see often in the last 2 months, except in the match with Bournemouth earlier. Obviously, Klopp’s plans were a draw with United as a guest after seeing this frankly cowardly approach last weekend. In view of the Reds’ schedule, it is their last visit to a team over the 12th place so in a case of victory now, Liverpool will get closer to the title from a psychological point of view. Arnold was the man of the match against Watford and he made 3 assists. He caused so many problems to Watford defense on the right wing. Mane seems quite effective as a number 9, though.

Let’s start with the fact that Everton has no win over Liverpool in 18 consecutive matches in all competitions. This is a huge series. Every time they talk and write that it is a derby and everything can happen, but the only thing that happens is Everton’s sometimes to pull out some draw with a lot of struggle and desire. Liverpool can not play around this time, as they did on Old Trafford. They are required to show the level of the match with Watford. There is a chance for Firmino to return and Everton’s fluctuations are huge in defense, but because they are strong in attack, our prediction for the match will be Liverpool – Over 1.5 goals at 1.69.
