Since Christmas, no Premier League side has conceded less goals than Liverpool.
We know, that statistic shocked us as well.
But it’s true; a central midfielder in Emre Can, a clumsy-looking Mamadou Sakho and an often shaky Martin Skrtel have formed a formidable back three.
We don’t understand it either.
This stroke of luck genius from Brendan Rogers has laid the foundation for a new, improved Liverpool.
They are unbeaten in seven league games, and have won five of their last six.
The Toffees, on the other hand, have looked shaky at the back all season and were lucky to beat Crystal Palace last weekend.
They’ve also only managed one win in their last five league games at Goodison.
So everything here clearly indicates an away win.
Except this is the Merseyside derby and anything can happen in the Merseyside derby. Here’s proof:
It’s a cliché, but form counts for nothing in games like this.
What you need is experience, passion and the willingness to go to the end, as Sturridge did in the video above.
The England striker isn’t back to his best just yet, so we’re backing Jordan Henderson, a player who has grown into his role at Anfield, to get the first goal and the game to finish 1-1.
