GOODISON PARK, LIVERPOOL — Everton host Liverpool in a Merseyside derby that could have huge consequences at both ends of the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp heads into his final installment of this feisty local affair with the Reds three points behind leaders Arsenal, who hammered Chelsea 5-0 on Tuesday. Manchester City are four points back in third and will have two games in hand on both of their title rivals at the end of tonight, meaning the destiny of the league is in the champions’ hands.
Everton took a huge step towards securing Premier League survival with a battling 2-0 weekend win over Nottingham Forest. Sean Dyche’s side are five points above the drop zone with five matches to play, with this being their game in hand on third-from-bottom Luton Town.
