Our prediction for the match Everton vs Liverpool
“The Toffees” faced a new challenge last season. They were twice subject to penalties, losing points. Still, the class gained by the team under the leadership of Sean Dyche was enough to finish in 15th place – that is the best result in recent years. “The Reds” also improved their performance, returning to the top 3 of the Premier League, while also winning the League Cup. It was already known then that the trophy would be Klopp’s last one in England.
Jurgen was replaced by Arne Slot. And the Dutch mentor manages to do something incredible: “the Reds” not only did not give in, on the contrary, it even improved compared to the legendary “German” model with him. The matches the team did not win, in all tournaments, can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and the representative of England is demonstrating 100% statistics, including winning with a 2-0 result in the game against Real, which was held last week, in the Champions League. The club repeated the same in the struggle with Manchester City. Still, not everything worked out in the meeting with Newcastle, and it ended with a rare misfire – a 3-3 draw.
“The Blues” were an unpleasant surprise, losing 4 times in a row in the championship and flying out of the League Cup on penalties after the struggle with modest Southampton. Still, then they only lost to the same “Saints”, although they drew more often than won, but rose from the bottom of the tournament table. The battle against Manchester United brought a crushing 0-4 failure. Nevertheless, the team, having saved their strength, beat Wolverhampton with a “mirror” score.
