Liverpool don't get lucky against Everton at Goodison Park much. The history below tells us a lot about what I'm trying to point out - only 2 wins for Liverpool. However I would have expected Liverpool to find a way to win this crucial match anyway.
From now on I can see this title race only between Arsenal and Manchester City. I already see Manchester City very close to the title though.
But I still want to keep my hopes for at least Arsenal to break their title series.
Everton have wasted their chance to stay on the winning path after the defeat to Everton, to be honest I think Everton will be a very easy opponent for Liverpool, yes indeed the game is a derby match that is often full of high intensity but looking at Everton's current performance, of course it is actually not difficult for Liverpool to beat Everton, But in fact Everton, who two weeks ago was beaten by Chelsea with a big score, was able to rise by beating Nottingham Forest and of course took Liverpool off the winning path after a surprising 2-0 win yesterday, for now I think Liverpool's hopes of rising have begun to disappear especially they are starting to move away from Arsenal with a distance of 3 points.
I think Liverpool's poor performance at the moment is nothing but a snowball effect after their defeat to Atlanta in the Europa League, after the painful defeat to Atalanta, Liverpool seem to have no passion in playing and make them continue to slump like they are today, I think for now Liverpool have been out of the winning path because it looks like it will be difficult for them to catch Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining games.
Knowing that Liverpool are just 3 points below Arsenal and 1 point above Manchester City is enough to tell you that Liverpool are expected to lose hope in the Premier League this season because they have only 4 games left, and if a team like Everton can win them with 2 to 0 goals in a game, then I don't think we still need to have hope in them because Liverpool's performance is getting weaker than hoping to be increasing.
But I don't know if it was their loss against Atalanta that is affecting them up until now because at first I thought they would be the winners of the Europa League this season, but seeing what has been happening to their performance, I think it will be very hard for them to still make it in the Premier League. But anything can still happen because they have only four games left and still those teams are not up to them in performance, but seeing that their performance is getting weaker, I don't think I have hope in Liverpool.
Four games can still make a difference for Liverpool if only they can win those four games, that is, without drawing any of the games but pure straight wins all through, then they likely may have a chance..
But then again, their chances of returning back to the top of the league also lies in the hands of Arsenal and Manchester city, Manchester city currently have a game tonight against Brighton; which I am believe that they(Manchester city may likely win, if they win the full 3 points, that will earn them 76 points in total and place them in the second place in the epl table, while Liverpool will move to the third place, that would mean that Arsenal is only 1 point ahead of Manchester city, while they 3 points ahead of Liverpool until Liverpool plays their next game, that will determine if Liverpool will return back to their second place by earning a total of 77 points to match with Arsenal.
Anyways, we have indeed gotten to the stage in the epl when things usually becomes very heated, and at this point, it is only the strongest club that usually takes the top sit and remain there, so, the question should be, is Arsenal really qualified and strong enough to maintain their current top position?
Only their performance going forward will tell for sure.
