What information do we collect from this quiz?

I actually thought
Liverpool did OK against Paris St-Germain in midweek and had a period where they took the game to them, even if they did not get the result they needed.
Now this season is all about finishing in the top five for Slot, but
Everton are a good side and, if they win this, they can reel
Liverpool in.
An
Everton win was actually my first thought here, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to sit on the fence instead.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Molly on a big weekend on Merseyside: I am really pleased that this game got moved to the Sunday because it would have affected the
Everton or
Liverpool fans coming to the Arena for the boxing afterwards - whoever they support, some of them would have been disgruntled!
Now, hopefully I will get the win on Saturday night and then I've got a ticket to go and watch this match on Sunday... and see
Everton make it a weekend in paradise for me.
Molly's prediction: Liverpool have been shocking recently but it's derby day and it doesn't matter who is in form in our city. Instead, it is just about who can hold the pace for the longest and not unravel towards the end. Whoever loses shape and switches off first, the other team will win.
So, it will be a nervy one but I think we'll win and I'd even put Beto down to get on the scoresheet if he starts, which I think he will - I can see him being up for it. 2-0
Sice on a bright spark in Liverpool's disappointing season: We are a squad in transition and the most exciting thing for
Liverpool fans at the moment is Rio Ngumoha. I am a huge fan of kind of just letting young players like him loose. He's only 17 and people question if is he old enough but when you see someone with his talent, and his pace and purpose, I just think let him play.
Sice's prediction: In the tradition of high-scoring derbies of the past, I am going to go for a few goals here.
Liverpool are flaky at the moment and Ibrahima Konate always seems off the pace at the back, and liable to make a mistake. I still think we will win, however, and I just hope Arne Slot lets Rio loose. I'm going to say it will be a free-flowing game with an exciting finish - a very late goal to decide it - and I feel like Rio will have a big impact. 2-3
AI's prediction: 1-2
JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE FOR A DRAW.
Liverpool not to score in first halves away from home remains a sustainable edge to exploit. The Reds have scored just three first-half goals in their last 17 away days as Arne Slot's controlled and safety-first style remains a tedious watch at times. If you have been backing this Liverpool first half blank in their away games you'd have landed the money on 14 of the last 17 occasions.
When you throw in Everton's defensive soundness into the mix, the case grows even stronger. The Toffees have kept a first half clean sheet in 10 of their 16 home games and haven't conceded a first half home goal in their last four games. It's 5/6 with Sky Bet to happen again.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Nothing to play for again apart from Champions league spot. one to five will make champions league spot for next season. However, I wish we can finish in the top four in the league this season, Everton is one of the teams standing in the way.. Games are running out, our games left are as follow:
