Hello. This Merseyside derby is all about droughts. Everton want to beat Liverpool for the first time in nine years; Liverpool need to win their first title for 29 years. The latter impacts the former, because Everton could redeem another nothing season by landing one on Liverpool’s title hopes.
A draw would be enough for Everton to ensure Liverpool no longer have their fate in their own hands, but the symbolic significance of a win would be enormous. And it would make up for that numbing defeat at Anfield in December, when Everton produced arguably their best performance of the season only to lose to Divock Origi’s tragifarcical goal in the 96th minute.
