Everton take on the visitors Liverpool in the postponed round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 24th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton are once again thrown into the battle for survival. After Ancelotti's departure, the Toffees quickly went from European contenders to fighters for survival. It seemed that under Dyche, who managed to avoid relegation to the Championship last season, they would continue to progress, earn points, even after the summer break. However, it was the Toffees who became the target of football officials - they were the first to be punished for violating financial fair play regulations. And Mikolenko and company have been punished twice already. The appeal partially helped in the first case, returning 4 points out of 10, but in the second, the basic -2 may even increase, although attempts are being made to overturn them. These swings in football institutions could drag on until summer. But it's clear that the Blues need to replenish their coffers, ideally by winning. This wasn't happening in 2024, and it was only in April that they managed a 1-0 win at home against the underdog, Burnley. Then, however, they suffered a humiliating defeat against Chelsea, losing 0-6. But it was much more important to deal with the direct competitor, Nottingham Forest, whom they defeated 2-0.

Liverpool received praise from Neville, a Manchester United legend. He, a recognized expert, correctly noted that the team, which finished 5th in the final table last season, was trailing the Manchester City by a tiny margin this time around. However, Klopp's charges, who had been leading the league single-handedly, suddenly managed to lose their dominance to United (which had previously knocked them out of the cup) and ended up with just a draw. Moreover, it was followed by a home defeat to Crystal Palace. However, they lost 0-1 there, and a couple of days earlier at Anfield, they conceded three unanswered goals from Atalanta in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. They won 1-0 in Italy last Thursday, but that wasn't enough. But they secured a confident victory against Fulham.
This is a historically significant derby, and there's plenty to remember - such as the injury inflicted by Pickford on van Dijk. But it doesn't seem to translate to the field, and in the last 5 head-to-head matches, there were 4 wins for the Reds with a scoreless draw. It's hard to believe that Mikolenko and company can stop their eternal rivals now. Here, we recommend betting on Klopp's charges to win with a -1.5 goals handicap.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap.
