This Sunday, Everton receives Liverpool as part of the 30th day of the Premier League. The two teams want to win this Mersey derby.
Only 12th in the Premier League, Everton pays for his start to the league completely missed. A time close to relegation, the team displays a much better face since the arrival on the bench of Carlo Ancelotti in December. However, after falling only once in 11 games, the Toffees have badly negotiated the last 3 difficult games played before the suspension of the championship. They preserved, at home, the division of points against Manchester United (1-1) and were beaten on the lawns of Arsenal (3-2) and Chelsea during the last day (4-0).
Undisputed leader of the Premier League, Liverpool is heading straight for a title of champion of England. Unbeaten in the first 27 days (26 wins and 1 draw), the Reds lost their first championship match with the poorly ranked Watford (3-0) before being eliminated by Chelsea in the FA Cup round of 16 (2 -0). They immediately resumed their march forward in the last match played before the interruption of the season by taking the upper hand, at home, on Bournemouth in the Premier League (2-1). On the European scene, Jürgen Klopp’s men were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League (defeats 1-0 away and 2-3 after extra time at home).
Many absences are to report on the side of Everton this weekend: it is the long-time absent Gbamin and potential incumbents Yerry Mina, Delph, Andre Gomes, Walcott and Tosun. Carlo Ancelotti should once again trust the attacking duo made up of Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin.
Liverpool records the forfeits of the tauliers Robertson and Salah, of the guardian n ° 2 Adrian and the usual substitutes Clyne and Shaqiri. Premier League’s best defense can also count on forwards Mané and Firmino.
The likely composition of Everton:
Pickford – Sidibé, Keane, Holgate, Digne – Bernard, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi – Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.
Absent: Delph, Andre Gomes, Gbamin, Yerry Mina, Tosun, Walcott (injured).
Uncertain: None.
The planned tactical arrangement (4-4-2):
Pickford
Sidibé – Keane – Holgate – Digne
Bernard – Davies – Sigurdsson – Iwobi
Richarlison – Calvert-Lewin
The likely composition of Liverpool:
Adrian – Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Milner – Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum – Origi, Firmino, Mané.
Absent: Adrian, Clyne, Robertson, Shaqiri, Salah (injured).
Uncertain: None.
The planned tactical arrangement (4-3-3):
Adrian
Alexander-Arnold – Gomez – Van Dijk – Milner
Henderson – Fabinho – Wijnaldulm
Origi – Firmino – Mané
In the last 10 confrontations, Liverpool have won 7 times, for 3 draws.
During the first leg, Everton was severely beaten on the lawn of Liverpool (5-2). In January, the Reds took over at home over the FA Cup Toffees (1-0).
The two teams played their last match in early March.
Coaches can make 5 replacements during the game.
This meeting will be held behind closed doors.
– This Mersey derby is a very important meeting for fans of both teams.
– Everton seems to be out of the race for Europe while Liverpool is, almost, already assured of its title of champion of England.
– Liverpool has not lost against neighbor Everton since October 2010, 21 games (11 wins and 10 draws).
Almost assured of his title, Liverpool should not lack motivation to win, in the empty lair of his opponent, this Mersey derby. Liverpool victory
