"It is a difficult one to call". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Everton vs Liverpool

  Premier League returns to action after the international break on Saturday, October 17. Liverpool will be preparing to play an away game against Everton on Saturday. The Reds suffered a 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa before going to an international break. While Carlo Ancelotti's side celebrated a 4-2 victory over Brighton. Currently, Everton are leading the league table with 12 points, meanwhile, Liverpool are 5th with 9 points. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. "Liverpool come into this game off the back of their 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa, when they were all over the place at the back. "People forget how organised and difficult to break down the Reds usually are, which is why they had such a good defensive record. "At Villa Park, though, they were wide open and Villa did their homework and targeted the right side of their defence, where Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez were struggling. "Given how well Everton are doing, Goodison Park would normally have been absolutely rocking for this game - but without any crowd or atmosphere, this won't feel like any derby game I played in. "It is still going to be interesting to see how Liverpool get on against Everton's midfield and whether they can get in and around them. The same goes for how the Liverpool defence copes under pressure this time. "It is a difficult one to call, which is why I am going with a draw."
