Liverpool vs Everton prediction: Could this be Klopp’s line-up for the derby?
It’s Liverpool vs Everton and the Merseyside derby is something that all footballing fans are waiting for. Liverpool are inches away from picking up their first-ever Premier League title and this promises to be a crucial fixture.
The last time Liverpool won the top-flight title was way back in 1990. They now need six more points to seal the title and with Manchester City beating Arsenal, the Merseysiders need to win this fixture if they are to seal the title at Anfield against Crystal Palace next week.
