Everton

On February 12, a rescheduled 15th Premier League Matchday will take place between the league’s unquestionable leader and one of its struggling teams. For Liverpool, this match presents an excellent opportunity to extend their lead at the top, while Everton will fight to secure a desirable position among England’s elite clubs.

Liverpool has been demonstrating nearly flawless performance this season, suffering only one defeat in 23 matches. They have won all six of their last eight games, absolutely dominating most of them and getting just two draws.

Despite sitting 16th in the Premier League table, Everton appears to be finding form now, having won their last three matches. These victories have earned them nine crucial points, significantly distancing them from the relegation zone.

Liverpool currently leads the Premier League, holding a six-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal. They have one more potential victory ahead with this upcoming game against Everton, which can boost their position further ahead. Everton, in turn, isn’t facing the threat of relegation yet, but they will definitely be highly motivated to challenge the current league leaders.

Match Prediction: Everton vs. Liverpool

Liverpool is the clear favorite in this matchup. Sure, the long-standing rivalry between these city neighbors adds intrigue to the match, and Everton’s recent improving form and motivation are commendable. Still, I don’t see them overcoming the league’s top team. The smart bet is on a Liverpool victory.
