Storylines
Liverpool: The only thing Liverpool has on its mind is getting back into first place. The Reds were jumped by Manchester City, who beat Bournemouth on Saturday. Now two points back, anything short of a victory will feel like defeat. The Reds will look to work down the wings and strike early to set the done. But finishing the weekend in second place could prove costly with City in fine form.
Everton: This team has been so up and down. At times they look like a top-six team, while other times they look like they should be in the bottom six. 39 goals scored, 39 against, and really lacking discipline in the final third. They can start pushing for seventh place with a victory, but losing here will likely see them fall into the bottom half of the table.
Liverpool vs. Everton prediction
The Reds get another Sadio Mane goal and kill the match off in the second half to stay top of the table.
Pick: Liverpool (-165)
