In the inaugural Merseyside Derby of the season on Saturday, Peter Crouch anticipated that Liverpool will easily defeat Everton.
The former Reds striker has predicted that when the Toffees travel just a short distance across town this weekend, the Anfield team will come away with all three points.
Liverpool has had a strong start to the season, and Jurgen Klopp’s team is currently fourth in the Premier League, trailing Tottenham by just three points.
Everton, on the other hand, has experienced significant setbacks once more, with Sean Dyche’s team once more headed for a relegation battle at the bottom of the table.
Nobody is surprised that Crouch believes Liverpool will defeat Everton, as the pundit states:
“The gap between Liverpool and Everton is very big. Even the staunchest Everton fan would admit that.
“They are at different ends of the spectrum. Liverpool had a disappointing season last season and are getting back to their best. You can’t see anything other than a Liverpool win.”
This Saturday at Anfield, Liverpool might humiliate Everton.
To say that Everton is in a real mess—with takeover mayhem all over the back pages and their worst-ever form on the field—would be an understatement.
The moment has never been better for Liverpool to face their Merseyside rivals, and this weekend looks to be particularly exciting for the Reds.
If things soon spiral out of control for Klopp’s team, the Anfield side might humiliate their local rivals even though winning already feels like a given.
