The Toffees are having a notably weak season and are currently fighting to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Sean Dyche’s team has gathered 30 points in 33 matches, placing them 16th in the league table. The gap from the relegation zone is five points, which widened due to their successful performance last weekend. In the previous round, Everton hosted Nottingham Forest and comfortably won 2-0. This victory marked their second win in the last three matches. Regarding their home statistics, the Toffees have secured only five victories in 16 home matches, losing seven.
The Reds are playing their final matches under the guidance of the legendary Jurgen Klopp. Not long ago, it seemed that this season would be triumphant for Liverpool. However, the team was eliminated by Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the Europa League and previously by Manchester United at the same stage of the FA Cup. Yes, there was a victory against Chelsea in the League Cup final, but of course, the fans at Anfield were dreaming of another league title. Their chances of finishing first in the Premier League are still intact, but it no longer solely depends on the Merseysiders. The home defeat to Crystal Palace in the penultimate round was the reason Manchester City surpassed Liverpool in the table. Ahead for Jurgen Klopp’s team are two important matches against Everton and Tottenham, in which they need to secure maximum points. It’s worth noting that Liverpool has only lost two away matches this season, securing 9 wins in 16 matches.
