Everton are still in the fight for survival, but the risk of dropping out of the Premier League is already minimal, as the Toffees have a gap of 5 points from the red zone with a game in hand.
Liverpool continues to participate in the championship race, although after the defeat from Crystal Palace chances have sharply decreased, now the main favourite to win is Manchester City. But still the intrigue will be alive until the 38th round, if Liverpool will not stop losing points.
Everton will try their best to take points away from Liverpool in the derby to prevent their principal rival from becoming champions. It is unlikely that the Toffees will play openly today, and will try to catch the opponent on a mistake, but Everton very rarely scores in the derby, so will try to play on the score 0-0.
Prediction: only one of the teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - No” bet, odds 2.15
