Everton take on the visitors Liverpool at “Goodison Park” in the round 33 of the English Premier League. The match will be played in the city of Liverpool.
Everton have lost three out of five recent battles conducted within the Premier League, having picked up points only in the clashes against Brighton and Stoke City. This is quite enough for saving the place in the elite division, but nothing more, as a result, there is no motivation for the team left for the rest of the season which raises the questions concerning Sam Allardyce’s future in the club. In the previous matchdays “The Toffees” were thrashed 1:3 by Manchester City, having been 0:3 behind by the end of the first half. Judging from that tackle I would say Everton are not good enough to compete with the grands on equal. Therefore, it’s not surprising that “The Toffees” have earned only three out of 39 possible points in the encounters against top seven teams. Besides, the upcoming hosts have huge problems with the line-up as many key performers are injured while other important footballers are in horrible conditions now. In general, the side doesn’t look as a whole and is not motivated enough. Such Everton would be an easy victim for Liverpool which are in their best form now.

As it was mentioned above, Liverpool have recaptured a phenomenal shape, having got five victories in last six Premier League clashes. It’s obvious Jurgen Klopp will use a slight rotation in the Saturday derby. The previous clash against Manchester City within the UEFA Champions League has taken too many strength from the team while the second-leg head-to-head is only three day ahead. However, injures of many key players won’t leave much space for the German coach to act. In fact, Jurgen Klopp will have to use the same line-up which smashed Josep Guardiola’s side with 3:0 scoreline this Wednesday. Although the priority will be given to the reverse fixture of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, the upcoming fight against Everton is also of significant importance as it is derby. Besides, “The Merseysiders” are competing now with Tottenham for the bronze medals of the Premier League and thus each point is priceless. I am completely sure that the footballers who will appear at the pitch will fully focus on the tackle without thinking about the next one and this must be suffice to upset Everton as “The Toffees” look weaker than their neighbours at this point.
With the exception of encounters against top-six clubs, Liverpool have won 17 out of 23 games in this season which is quite an impressive result. As for the rivals’ head-to-heads, Everton haven’t tasted a single victory within the derbies against Liverpool since 2010 which makes up 16 clashes in a row already. “The Toffees” were lucky to earn 1:1 draw in the first-lap fight, having converted a penalty at the very end of the game, however, at this point Liverpool are even stronger and I sure that they will managed to pick up three points in the forthcoming Saturday tackle.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
