Everton look like they could absolutely smash Liverpool in the Merseyside derby this weekend, and it could even be the Blues’ biggest win in the contest since 1964 if they show no mercy.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off for Arne Slot at Liverpool, and it’s a beautiful sight to see ahead of a first-ever Merseyside derby encounter at Hill Dickinson this Sunday.
Lots has changed since the reverse fixture at Anfield earlier in the season, with some of the Reds’ best players like Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson wanting out of the club at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, on the right side of the city, David Moyes looks to be leading the Toffees towards a charge for European football, while they only sit five points behind their rivals with six Premier League games remaining.
Everton beat Liverpool 4-0 back in 1964, and it would be no surprise to see the same result occur this weekend.
