Lolz wot?
Liverpool struggle against Everton every season.
It's a scrappy fixture, often with injury's they commit awful fowls that they wouldn't do against any other team(they absolutely broke Van Dijk). Cards are sometimes involved. They play negatively and doggedly. When City , Spurs or Arsenal go to Goodison they win comfortably with no issues. You cannot deny that Everton are twice the team they usually are when they play against Liverpool
Edit: Tomous they absolutely are compare to how they play against the other top teams near the top of the table. Especially at Goodison.
Let's take the past 5 fixtures at Goodison -
3 draws, 1 Liverpool win, 1 everton win.
Man City at Goodison past 5 fixture - all Man city wins.
It could show that Man City are just a better team than Liverpool.
But it definitely shows an area where Man City often gain 2 points over a close rival every season, and Liverpool often pick up a scrappy injury and frustration.
2019 it was the fixture that lost us the title, this year it wasn't far off.
