The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at Goodison Park on Wednesday night as Everton host their bitter rivals, Liverpool, in the Merseyside Derby. The Toffees are looking to dent the Reds’ title charge and secure a crucial win in their quest for Premier League survival.
Everton’s recent 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest has alleviated some of the pressure, but Sean Dyche’s side knows they need to keep pushing for points to avoid relegation. A win against their arch-rivals would be a massive boost, and the Toffees are eager to end their 14-year wait for a derby win at Goodison Park.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are determined to keep their title hopes alive after a 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s side is just two points behind leaders Manchester City, and a win on Wednesday would pile the pressure on the Citizens ahead of their trip to Brighton on Thursday.
The Merseyside Derby is always a fiercely contested match, and this encounter promises to be no different. With the added pressure of the title race and relegation battle, both teams will be giving it their all to secure a vital three points.
Don’t miss out on the action! The match kicks off at 20:00 BST on Wednesday, April 24, at Goodison Park. You can catch all the excitement live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Ultra HD, and SKY GO Extra in the UK, or on Peacock in the United States and fuboTV in Canada.
Will Everton pull off a stunning upset and dent Liverpool’s title hopes? Or will the Reds continue their push for the top spot?
