Match
start: 12:30 (GMT+1)
Everton
We
doubt that the Toffees will manage to qualify into Euro cups
according to the results of this season. But their current situation
allows finishing this season quietly. 40 points guarantee calm life
in the middle of the standings.
However
the forthcoming match is important for the team of Allardyce
as it is
derby. The match with the Reds can be considered to be the last
important match of the championship at Goodison
Park.
Last
round Everton could not show anything good in the match against
Manchester City (1:3) at home field, having missed three times by the
37th minute.
Liverpool
Thanks
to the amazing style, Jurgen Klopp and his football players have won
over the Man City (3:0) in the first match of ¼ Champions League
finals.
But
that victory was very difficult to gain because of an injury of
Mohamed Salah who has opened the scored and was substituted. Even if
the injury wasn’t serious (it is possible to suggest this by the
way Salah was celebrating the victory with his partners after the
match, standing straight) we doubt that the German coach of
Liverpool will risk the health of the Egyptian, allowing him to play
in derby.
One
more factor, besides the mood which can prevent the nominal guests to
show the best game is fatigue. After that speed which the Reds have
shown during the 55 minutes of the match it is impossible to be
restored in 64 hours.
Klopp
has minimum space for rotation.
Head-to-heads
In
the first circle the teams have ended the match at Anfield with a
draw (1:1) though the hosts were stronger than the rival all the time
and the opponent has used nearly the only chance. Virgil van Dijk
during the Cup match in January which was the first one for him, the
Dutch has brought to the new club a victory (2:1).

Match
prediction
We
think that the importance of the match and fatigue of the players of
Klopp will influence the match outcome. Besides it is impossible to
exclude problems which can return to the Reds in the absence of
Salah. So we wait for speed from the Toffees and we hope that they
won’t lose in this fight.
