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.
Which means Liverpool are going to struggle to get a goal even if they play with 4 men attack, Everton will definitely go with a defensive strategy. I think I'll agree with you on that defensive plan on that derby, because the coach in question during his days at Burnley he loves defending more than attacking.
But with the kind of players Everton have I feel
Sean Dyche will play both (attacking and defending). He'll attack less and defend more, if he gets a goal I think he'll turn the plan around to play 5 defenders, which will be hard for Liverpool to break.
