On Wednesday, at 20:15 pm, Liverpool and Everton meet in the 15th round of the Premier League, in an intermediate round that offers excellent profit opportunities. Liverpool and Everton play the 285th derby on Merseyside, and the current situation of the two clubs is totally different.
Liverpool lead the Premier League standings without a call, with 13 victories and a draw in 14 stages, Jurgen Klopp’s team being difficult to stop in this season. With 32-12 goalscoring and a series of 19 consecutive matches without defeat at home, Liverpool do not plan to prevent local rival Everton. The “caramels” are on the 17th place (golaveraj 14-22), with big problems in the relegation zone. Marco Silva’s days on the white-blue bank have become counted.
Everton have only one win in the last five stages and the dismissal of the Goodison Park team is yet to come. Everton’s team is full of talent, with players like Pickford, Mina, Digne, Schneiderlin, Richarlison, Bernard, Walcott or Iwobi, but the team’s performance is more than modest! Lately, Everton drew with Tottenham (1-1) and lost to Norwich (0-2) and Leicester (1-2). Last weekend, Everton led Leicester 1-0, but the hosts came back amid defensive errors that Marco Silva’s students had already become accustomed to.
Liverpool comes after successes at the limit with Genk (2-1), Crystal Palace (2-1) and Brighton (2-1), but the manner of playing the “cormorants” is convincing. Firmino’s offensive trio, Mane esi Salah, remains deadly and Everton’s defenders will have plenty of work to do on Wednesday.
Interestingly, three of the last four straight duels of the two rivals ended in a draw. Liverpool won the difference of one goal the other two games, with 1-0 and 2-1, both on their own ground. Without Clyne, Fabinho and Matip, the “cormorants” remain favorites. Marco Silva doesn’t know if he can rely on Coleman, Martina, Delph and Walcott, while Andre Gomes can’t play this season because of a serious injury.
