Premier League Preview: Everton vs Liverpool

Championship playoffs for Premier League qualification

Everton host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend and it should be one of the most exciting Merseyside derbies in recent years.

The Toffees have always been the underdogs heading into a Derby game but this time they are the better team and a team in form.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been in fantastic form in the recent weeks and they will be confident of getting all three points here.

Meanwhile the Premier League champions are heading into this game on the back of a 7-2 defeat against Aston Villa and their confidence will be shattered.

It will be interesting to see if the Reds can bounce back with a morale-boosting win at Goodison Park.

The Reds will be without Alisson and it will be interesting to see if Adrian can step up and get the job done.

The Spaniard was in atrocious form against Aston Villa and he will have to improve immensely in order to contain an informed Everton attack.
