Liverpool is taking a short trip to Goodison Park on Saturday, and certainly this is a game of the week. Liverpool have just been humiliated by Aston Villa, and on the other hand Everton unbeaten in the league this season with 100 percent record. This is a tough game for Liverpool because Everton are going to go for it, they don't a draw while Liverpool are going to be happy not to lose.This is hard to call. I am going for scored draw 2;2.

WHAT IS LAWRO THINKING?. HE IS SITTING ON THE FENCE. 1:1 please log in to view this image Everton v Liverpool (12:30 BST) Liverpool come into this game off the back of their 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa, when they were all over the place at the back. People forget how organised and difficult to break down the Reds usually are, which is why they had such a good defensive record. Klopp sent Liverpool players 'long, long text message' after defeat by Villa At Villa Park, though, they were wide open and Villa did their homework and targeted the right side of their defence, where Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez were struggling. Given how well Everton are doing, Goodison Park would normally have been absolutely rocking for this game - but without any crowd or atmosphere, this won't feel like any derby game I played in. It is still going to be interesting to see how Liverpool get on against Everton's midfield and whether they can get in and around them. The same goes for how the Liverpool defence copes under pressure this time. It is a difficult one to call, which is why I am going with a draw. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Rema's prediction: 1-3
A defeat I can take, 1-0, 2-0, even 3-1, although I would have grumbled, but 7-2 wasn't a defeat, it was murder. You simply do not beat the Champions of England and World Clup Winners 7-2 when you're newly promoted, even if it is Villa and they're tough to break down on their home ground. It was no fluke, either. My prediction? Sorry, 2-0 to Everton. Our defence is in the bin.
