A Merseyside derby important at both ends of the table
Everton and Liverpool meet in a Merseyside derby on Wednesday that could have an important say at both ends of the table.
The Toffees beat Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park on Sunday to move five points clear of the relegation zone while Liverpool ended a shaky week with a 3-1 victory away at Fulham to keep their title hopes alive.
Liverpool were the winners when the two met back in October thanks to a brace from Mohamed Salah.
A win for Jurgen Klopp’s side wouldn’t be enough for them to go back to the top of the table, but they would be a point behind leaders Arsenal and ahead of Manchester City, who don’t play until Thursday.
Sean Dyche’s side will be the underdogs heading into the game having not beaten their rivals since 2021 when the fixture was played behind closed doors. The last time they beat Liverpool at Goodison Park was in 2010 when goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta were enough.
