Everton this Wednesday December 1st, welcome arch rivals Liverpool to Goodison Park in what promises to be a fascinating 239th iteration Merseyside derby this looking to be an excellent opportunity for the Reds to get back to winning ways against this side.
Everton are struggling with just three positions separating them from the relegation zone at the 14th position with only 15 points, six points above the relegation place in the 13 fixtures. Everton are facing a tough run having not won in the last seven fixtures managing only two points in the process draws against Manchester United and Tottenham spurs.
The Toffees started the season under Rafael Benitez fairly well, losing just once in the league before going to the international break in October. Rafael is a much-loved former Liverpool boss who the Everton fans have yet to take to and will receive a very hostile reception if this turns into a walkover for the Reds.
The hosts have lost five of their previous six matches coming to this and it seems to be a tight match to overturn with the fine form of Klopp’s side.
Liverpool on the other side are on a fine form having lost only once in this campaign that coming against West Ham just before the international break. Despite dropping a few points through draws and the loss at the London Stadium, Liverpool has dominated opponents for most parts of the campaign.
Liverpool have been in 4 draws against Chelsea, Brentford, Man City and Brighton but have shown an impressive turnaround from the international break and have had successive 4-0 result against Arsenal and Southampton last time out.
Klopp’s side is currently 3rd in the league, 2 points behind Chelsea and is on a high notch in the champions league and they remain unbeaten in the group stage and have already secured a place in the round of 16.
