Liverpool – Everton, Picks and Tips
"The 'Cormorants' have not lost a game since the return leg against Inter (0-1) in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Since then there have been seven wins and two draws for Jurgen Klopp's boys. They prepare for the league semi-finals, where they will face Villarreal. The round is scheduled for next Wednesday. Elsewhere, Liverpool are coming off a 4-0 win over rivals Manchester United in midweek. "Salah's 'double' and strikes from Diaz and Mane respectively decided that game. Previously, the Anfield side had managed to qualify for the FA Cup final after 3-2 vs Man City. At the end of 32 rounds of the current season, Liverpool are in second place in the Premier League. The gap to leaders Manchester City, however, is just one point.
On the other hand, the 'toffees' are going through their worst season in recent history. However, Everton are coming off two positive results in the Premier League, achieved against opponents who are not at all accessible: 1-0 vs Man United and 1-1 vs Leicester. Both of those matches took place at Goodison Park and halted a run of three consecutive defeats that Frank Lampard's side had been going through. With 31 games played, Everton are in 17th place in the table, the first to secure safety from relegation. But they are just four 'lengths' above Burnley in 18th.Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has recently suffered an injury and will not be able to be part of Lampard's plans for the Merseyside Derby. Davies, Patterson and Townsend are the other injured in the Toffees' camp. Frank Lampard will field a classic 4-3-3 system. Yerry Mina has recently returned from a lengthy spell out of fitness and will start directly in the centre of defence alongside Ben Godfrey. Allan, Delph and Iwobi will be in midfield. In attack, Demarai Gray takes advantage of Calvert-Lewin's absence, while Richarlison is shifted to the central area.
