Liverpool - Everton, 9:15 p.m. today, December 10: Red paradise

Liverpool are enjoying the best days of the season. Life would be even better for the Reds if their honeymoon period was extended by a win over their neighbours Everton.

Liverpool at its best

“In my opinion, even the best Everton team could not compete with Liverpool at the moment”, surprisingly, the person who said this was Everton head coach Sam Allardyce. Big Sam’s statement is enough to understand how strong Liverpool are at the moment.

The Kop have just experienced two very resounding victories: crushing Brighton 5-1 and more spectacularly, defeating Spartak Moscow 7-0 in the Champions League. These two victories are not only very impressive in terms of scores, but they can also be converted into a very serious threat to Everton. Because 10/12 goals that The Kop have just poured into the net of the 2 "victims" were scored by the super quartet Saio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah.

Never before this season has coach Klopp had enough material to assemble a satisfactory attack line like this. At the beginning of the season, when Mane and Salah played well, Coutinho's performance declined due to psychological instability. When Coutinho returned, Mane was free of injury, and rumors of conflict with Juergen Klopp arose. It was not until the last 2 matches that this quartet reunited in the best physical condition and mood.

Surely, coach Juergen Klopp will continue to treat his city team to a live-show of 4 attacking superstars who have just scored 10 goals together in just 2 matches, and what miracle will help Everton withstand the superior attacking ability of these 4 strikers? The prospect of Everton's shabby defense collapsing is very big.

History against Everton

The stats are against Everton. Liverpool are unbeaten in 14 consecutive games against Everton and if they keep it up today, the Reds will set a record for the longest unbeaten run against their neighbours.

Everton have gone 17 consecutive Premier League games without a win at Anfield, since a 1-0 win in September 1998. In this 19-year period, Everton have lost 9 games. Not only do they fear Anfield, Everton have also failed to win a single away game in the Premier League this season. They have been away from home 7 times, with a record of 3 draws, 4 losses, conceding 16 times and scoring just 4 goals.

Everton will certainly not be able to play on par with Liverpool in this match, but will have to defend with one hope: the quartet of Mane, Coutinho, Firmino, Salah will be separated. However, Everton can only hope that Liverpool will not score, but there is very little basis for them to attack and take advantage of the opponent's poor defense. Because if they make a mistake when raising their formation to counterattack, the super speed of Mane and Salah will make them pay the price.

“Whenever I feel down, I often have a habit of looking at the bottom of the table to see what Everton are doing down there,” the classic ironic line referring to Everton's very low position compared to Liverpool that former player Jamie Carragher once said has never been more true than now.
