Everton: Team Analysis and Preview
Everton has had a challenging campaign, as it tries to distance itself from the relegation zone. Its recent performances have been a mixed bag. The Toffees secured big wins against Tottenham Hotspur (3–2), Leicester City (4–0), and Wolves (4–0). However, this is contrasted by frequent defeats. They have lost 9 of their 23 matches, drawn 8, and won 6.
Striker Iliman Ndiaye has been a key offensive asset, leading the team with 6 goals. Strikers Beto Betuncal, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and midfielder Dwight McNeil have netted the ball three times each. Defender Ashley Young leads with the most assists at three.
McNeil and Lewin are injured and have been ruled out for several weeks. Another striker, Armando Broja is out with an ankle injury and is expected to miss out most of the season. This has limited David Moyes’ options in attack. The club is also financially constrained, having posted losses of £430m over the past five years. This means they don’t have many options in the January signing window. Despite these challenges, however, Everton has secured the loan of Argentine midfielder Alcaraz from Brazilian club, Flamengo. They are also in talks with La Liga club Rennes in a ‘loan to buy’ deal for left-back Adrien Truffert.
Liverpool: Team Analysis and Preview
The Reds have 17 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 loss this Premier League season. Their only loss was way back in September against Nottingham Forest (0–1). Since then, Liverpool has been on an undefeated streak with 14 wins and 5 draws.
Forward Mohammed Salah leads the team’s scoring chart with 21 goals and 13 assists. He is in the race for the Golden Boot award along with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (19 goals), Newcastle’s Alexander Isak (17 goals), and Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood (17 goals).
Following Salah, Liverpool strikers Luis Díaz (8 goals, 2 assists) and Cody Gakpo (8 goals, 3 assists) have been just as effective.
However, the team’s form is marred by fatigue. Liverpool is also playing in the UEFA Champions League, the EFL Cup, and the FA Cup this season. In February, the team will play seven matches, which is bound to lead to exhaustion, fatigue, and injuries.
Currently, defender Joe Gomez is out with a hamstring injury and will be resting the entire month. Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold had a thigh injury during the Bournemouth match, and he will be rested for one game. We might also see younger players taking over some matches to give a rest to senior players.
