Liverpool's match against Everton is very important in the race for the title

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, emphasized that winning the Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park on Thursday (25/4/2024) at 02.00 WIB is very important in the competition to win the Premier League title.

Arsenal now leads the Premier League standings by collecting 77 points from 34 matches, three points ahead of Liverpool in second place and four points ahead of Manchester City in third place.

Even though they are four points behind Arsenal, Manchester City has the opportunity to move up to first place because they have only played 32 matches, meanwhile The Gunners has competed 34 times. Liverpool themselves have only played 33 times.

Klopp said that his team really needed three points when they visited Everton. “Of course, the win has a big meaning for us. That's clear,” said Kloop.

Liverpool have always managed to avoid defeat in the last five meetings against Everton at Goodison Park. Four matches ended in a draw and one landslide 4-1 win in the 2021/2022 season. Klopp warned that the match would be difficult considering that Everton was struggling to avoid the relegation zone.

Judging by Everton's performance, which has managed to win one win from its last three home matches, Klopp believes that Sean Dtche's team is definitely determined to win in these three matches in order to secure the three points.

“I think, with their last two results, Everton are quite successful in staying in the league. They will face us and one more home game at the weekend, so that's a total of three home games,” said Klopp.

“Their goal is to win all three, and of course they will try to do it to the maximum,” he added.

Seeing the current situation of competition for the title, Klopp expressed his desire to end his tenure at Liverpool by winning the Premier League title.

“Presenting the Premier League title is my dream, and I would be very happy if I could make it happen. As long as there is still a chance to achieve it, I think we have to try as hard as possible,” he said.
