Everton Preview – Can Everton win five on trot?
Many Everton fans would be more than happy if the Premier League season ended right now as their team sit proudly at the top of the division with a 100% winning record after recording wins against Tottenham, West Brom, Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively.
However, Everton now have a great opportunity of finally toppling their more illustrious neighbours, Liverpool, as they hold home advantage at Goodison Park and the goals have also been flying in with three of Everton’s four matches to date producing three goals or more.
Six of Everton’s last 10 matches at home in the Premier League have seen over 2.5 goals scored and with the likes of Richarlison (1 goal), Calvert-Lewin (6 goals) and Rodriguez (3 goals) providing the cutting edge for the hosts, further goals look likely here.
Liverpool Preview – Can Liverpool bounce back in local derby?
Whilst the international break temporarily halted Everton’s momentum, it came at just the tight time for Liverpool who suffered a 7-2 humiliation away at Aston Villa, although it should be noted that five of Villa’s seven goals were somewhat fortuitous.
A goalkeeping error, an obvious offside and three deflected shots contributed to Liverpool’s dramatic implosion in the west midlands but we can expect Jurgen Klopp’s side to respond in business-like fashion as they look to set the record straight at Goodison Park.
Let’s not forget that Liverpool had previously picked up three wins on the trot beforehand with victories over Leeds United 4-3, Chelsea 2-0 and a 3-1 win over Arsenal and with the Aston Villa result, that means that three of their four matches to date have also seen over 2.5 goals scored, while six of Liverpool’s last 10 away matches have also produced three goals or more.
