For a whole year, Liverpool hadn’t suffered back-to-back defeats. The last time it happened was in April last year when the Reds lost to Atalanta in the Europa League, followed by a defeat to Crystal Palace. Now, history has repeated itself with losses to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and Newcastle in the League Cup final. Arne Slot and his players are hurting after missing out on a trophy, but if it’s any consolation, the most important one—the Premier League title—is within their grasp. And not just any title, but a historic 20th league championship.Reds’ legend: ‘Please give Salah whatever he wants’Up next is a match against Everton at Anfield, an opportunity both to bounce back and to get revenge on the Toffees for their dramatic equalizer in stoppage time by James Tarkowski in the February 12 clash at Goodison Park, which ended 2-2. Ahead of the derby, Arne Slot was brutally honest, stating that the final against Newcastle was the first time all season that his team truly deserved to lose.”I had a clear message for the players, the simplest one possible—never accept that another team works harder than you. That was the case against Newcastle. When the stakes are so high, that is unacceptable. It can happen once or twice in a season, but not more than that” Slot said.The last time Everton visited Anfield 🎥🔥 pic.twitter.com/K6V8MUvVRc— Liverpool FC USA (@LFCUSA) March 30, 2025 Everton don’t have those ’sweet worries’ like their arch-rivals. With the arrival of David Moyes, the Toffies all but secured their Premier League status and can approach this derby match totally relaxed and could even benefit from being an underdog. The Scottish expert knows who is the danger man in the team – Mohamed Salah.”He’s having an unbelievable season for Liverpool. But let’s be fair we’re talking about one of the top Premier League players of this generation. And it’s not just this season, he’s been so consistent over most seasons; scoring plenty of goals, plenty of assists, looks as if he plays nearly all the games, very rarely injured. He’s been an excellent player for Liverpool. We’ll enjoy taking him to the airport and getting him on the plane, getting him out“ said Moyes. Free agents worth 404 milion euros!Trent Alexander-Arnold is currently sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in the clash against Paris Saint-Germain, and like Joe Gomez, he will be out for several weeks. The good news for Liverpool is that Conor Bradley, who has been out since February with a hamstring injury, could return to action. Additionally, Alisson Becker and Ryan Gravenberch are expected to be fit and available. Regarding the squad situation, Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil have resumed training, while Vitalii Mykolenko has recovered from a thigh injury. Although the match comes too soon for Ndiaye and McNeil, Mykolenko is expected to be fit to play at left-back. However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala remain unavailable.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 30 TuesdayArsenal – Fulham (1-0)/Merino 37, Saka 73/Wolverhampton – West Ham (1-0)/Larsen 21/Nott.
