In the last two seasons Liverpool have never lost to Everton. And I think last season when Liverpool was in inconsistent performance but they were still able to beat Everton. So this time or this season I also feel confident that Liverpool will win the battle again. I haven't seen any improvement from Everton this season. They are still the same as at the end of last season.
But a draw is still possible. I hope next week I can watch this match. Looks like I have to work faster so I can enjoy next week's match.
Liverpool have been the upper hands when it comes to this Merseyside derby and Everton are always settling for a draw which is just not good for a team that wants to move forward. This season Everton haven't shown any sign of improvement, today a win tomorrow they'll end up losing or playing a draw.
But this encounter I don't expect Liverpool to dominate this Everton side that doesn't have anything to fight for, I believe they (Everton) only sees this game as something they can hold on to. If they get a win against Liverpool then it will motivate them into the next game, so I'll give Everton the winning against Liverpool.
Actually, even Everton will not be too stressed by the result of this match. And this can sometimes make Everton players enjoy the match more. I find it difficult to explain what I mean. But the point is that Liverpool being the favorite sometimes actually makes them a little stressed because they have to meet everyone's expectations. And Everton will definitely use a defensive strategy in this match. And this is something you need to be careful of because sometimes when a club implements a defensive strategy it will make the opponent become complacent in attacking and then become careless with their own defense. So counterattacks from clubs that have a defensive strategy are sometimes very effective in troubling opponents who use an offensive strategy.
