With the BPL title surge effectively ended by Man Utd last weekend, the Reds must win this game to consolidate their position for the fourth spot. A defeat will see Everton overtake Liverpool while a draw will only benefit the Toffees.
Liverpool made a promising start to the match and was rewarded when red hot Torres scored from the edge of the box to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead just only 8 mintues into the game. This was after Yakubu lost possession in his own penalty area.
The game was played in high tempo from Liverpool looking to kill the game with a second goal but there was no breakthrough. Everton came out stronger in the second half while Liverpool is keeping possession and go for the counter. It was quite obvious they are playing it safe with the Champion League quarter-final on their mind.
There was no real threat from the Blues. With Tim Cahill injured, Everton lack a player to run to the box to create havock to the Liverpool backline.
The triple headed match against the Gunners should be interesting especially they are in a bit of wobble. They did well to snatch a comeback win against Bolton with 10 men but Liverpool is a different opposition from Bolton. Let's hope Liverpool can take a 1-0 lead back to Anfield.
