Liverpool – Everton

Liverpool host Everton in a Merseyside clash that could see the seventh‑placed Reds edge closer to a top‑six finish. Both sides sit on six points, Liverpool boasting a slight goal‑difference advantage at +2 (six scored, four conceded) compared with Everton’s +2 from five for, three against. With neither side having suffered a defeat this season – each recording one win and three draws – the encounter promises a tightly contested battle for the crucial third spot. A victory for Liverpool would lift them to eighth, while a win for Everton could propel them into the coveted seventh place, tightening the race for European qualification.
