The Liverpool club have seriously stalled in the last league matches. In the last round Everton played on the Brighton field and managed to achieve a zero draw in the match with the Seagulls. This meeting was the fourth in a row for the “toffee” in which they could not achieve success. In previous rounds Carlo Ancelotti’s charges also ended in a draw with Crystal Palace and lost to Chelsea (0:2) with Burnley (1:2). The loss of a number of important points was immediately reflected in the standings of Everton, whose chances for a place in the European competition were significantly reduced. Liverpool players settled in the eighth position before the upcoming meeting. They currently have 48 points and are seven points behind the fourth West Ham. It should be noted that the butterscotch played one match less than all the opponents who are higher, so there is a chance to reduce the gap, but for this they need to win the upcoming match. Winning against Tottenham will be challenging due to Everton’s weak home arena. At Goodison Park in the current championship, the “toffee” are doing very badly. In the home matches of the current championship, Ancelotti’s wards scored only 38% of the total points earned. They have lost five of their last eight home games, having achieved only one victory during that period. There are a lot of personnel losses in the Everton squad. The midfielders Abdoulaye Ducourt, Bernard, Fabian Delph and Jean-Philippe Gbamen, as well as defender Jerry Meena, will definitely not play for various reasons. A number of important players for the team also suffered injuries: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Andre Gomes, Allan Marquez and Joshua King. Their participation in the match is in question.
Now the Californians have another series of defeat, the end of which few would undertake to predict. Sacramento is an absolutely plush contender for all serious teams. Yes, Luke Walton’s collective beat Frank Vogel’s Los Angeles relatively recently, but this is all somewhat from a different opera. The situation in Sacramento changes from match to match: now everything can be fine, but tomorrow guests will face a complete failure. The main thing is that the state of affairs does not change sharply in the opposite direction.
