For Everton facing Liverpool will indeed be like a big test or a challenge that they have to overcome. But even if Everton lose, they won't be embarrassed. Because everyone will think it's normal. but if Everton win then they can feel a huge sense of pride and various appreciations will shower them. So we can say that Everton will even be able to play more freely and without mental pressure. But for Liverpool they have to win at all costs because they are playing as hosts and they also have to be able to collect full points so they can continue to strengthen their position at the top of the standings so they don't have the potential to be overtaken again by teams ranked lower. And I think Liverpool have enough rest after the League Cup final. So I still see Liverpool winning very well.
Liverpool is almost at the verge of winning the season title and all they need is not to do any silly mistake of losing and drawing games like Arsenal. Arsenal was also in hunt of winning season title but there poor performance in their last three games have shattered there chances of winning this season title. Liverpool has only lost one game this season while Everton is at 28th position on points table with seven wins this season. I don't think Liverpool will lose three crucial points against Everton on April 3 2025.
Yes, there is quite a clear difference in strength between Liverpool and Everton. The difference in rankings is also a clear illustration of the difference in strength between the two. So Liverpool really deserves to be the favorite. Moreover, Liverpool was the host in this match. And in fact, if Liverpool managed to win in the final against Newcastle in the League Cup, it could bring a stronger mental push to the Liverpool players to continue to be enthusiastic about winning the Premier League title by not experiencing defeat again in the remainder of this season.
Right now what we really have to worry about is the League Cup final against Newcastle. Because it won't be an easy fight. Newcastle, which actually has a squad depth that is no less good than Liverpool, could surprise us in this match. And I can't even be sure about who to favorite right now.
