Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for Liverpool vs Everton

Liverpool are preparing to face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, February 20. The Reds have been having a difficult time in the league as they have lost their last 3 games. The Toffees have also dropped points in their last three league games as they played a 3-3 draw with Manchester United and lost to Fulham and Manchester City. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Liverpool actually played quite well in their defeat at Leicester last weekend until the mess-up from Alisson for the Foxes' second goal, which was what changed the game. "The more I watch it, the more I think Reds centre-back Ozan Kabak did nothing wrong there - he was dealing with the situation quite happily until his goalkeeper came flying at him at 100mph and wiped him out. "We saw a good response from Jurgen Klopp's side in their Champions League win against RB Leipzig on Tuesday but that game suited them because the German side pressed them high up the pitch and left space behind. "Everton won't do that. I watched their game against Manchester City on Wednesday and they played one up top in Richarlison and had numbers in midfield to try to deny City space. "The Toffees have only taken one point from their past three games so they are hardly flying form-wise either, but they seem to be far better away from home at the moment - and of course Liverpool have suddenly found it hard to get a result at Anfield, which is another reason Everton will fancy their chances. "You know Carlo Ancelotti's side will be feisty and they could have Dominic Calvert-Lewin back to lead their attack. If he plays, he will be a handful." Lawrenson's score prediction: 1-1  The Reds are currently 6th in the league table with 40 points, meanwhile, Everton are 7th with 37 points and a game in hand. source - BBC / Join us on Telegram
