After a much-awaited league victory against Wolves, Everton are scheduled to face a tough challenge against table leaders Liverpool in Round 15.

Everton vs Liverpool: Match Preview
Followed by a horrible 0-4 defeat against Manchester United, Everton succeeded to produce the same margin in their last match against Everton. Breaking their five-match winless streak in the previous fixture, the Toffees have endured two defeats and shared three spoilers. But the home form of Everton has been resilient as they are undefeated in their recent five league games at Goodison Park, winning two. Being on a bumpy ride this season, the home side is present in the fifteenth position, securing only three wins in 14 rounds.
Liverpool’s remarkable seven-match winning run was arrested at the hands of Newcastle with a 3-3 draw at St James’ Park, conceding a 90th-minute equalizer. Meanwhile, the victories of second and third-placed Chelsea and Arsenal have shortened Liverpool’s lead to seven points at the summit of the points table. Moreover, manager Arne Slot will be concerned with the sloppy defense that has conceded multiple goals in four consecutive road fixtures, despite straight clean sheets at home. Liverpool’s last defeat away from Anfield also came out against thier upcoming rivals, Everton by 0-2 in the last season.
