Liverpool vs Everton Preview

Liverpool

We’ve seen yet another display’ of Liverpool’s power, once they smashed Manchester United this Tuesday night. The fans at Anfield went home more than happy after seeing their favorites trashing the Red Devils with 4-0.

All of Liverpool’s strikers – Mane, Salah, and Diaz – netted, extending their perfect form and confirming that they are the most consistent and efficient attacking trio in European football since the start of this calendar year. Of course, we don’t want to neglect Firmino, Jota, and other guys whose contribution is massive.

The Reds have been perfect in the past five EPL games at Anfield. They won all of them, with a combined goal difference of 16-1. In the past four, Alisson didn’t concede a goal, meaning that the defense led by Virgil Van Dijk once again began playing at the highest possible level.

Everton

The Toffees managed to put two in a row without a loss. After a surprising win over Manchester United at home, 1-0, they took one point against Leicester, also at home, 1-1. Richarlison equalized the score in the second minute of the stoppage time, for an explosion at Goodison Park.

Three of their past four games were with both teams netting, meaning that Everton’s attack woke up following a period of disastrous form. The Toffees sit first above the red line with 29 points, four more than Burnely and with a game in hand. So they need their strikers in the best possible shape right now.

Everton’s form on the road is terrible, having seven consecutive losses across all the competitions. In all of them, they allowed at least two goals, having all sorts of defensive problems. The Toffees’ backline would usually fall apart after the first conceded hit.

Liverpool vs Everton Possible Lineups

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Mane
