Older brotherLiverpool almost lost the Premier League championship, losing 0-2 to Everton in the round 29 compensation match.
The second defeat in the last three matches in the Premier League left Liverpool short of breath in the race with Arsenal and Man City. Jurgen Klopp and his team are now three points behind top Arsenal, with only four rounds left. Liverpool will lose second place if Man City does not lose to Brighton tonight. The owner of Anfield is one point ahead of Man City but has played two more matches.

In the past 12 times with Liverpool at Goodison Park, coach Jurgen Klopp has never lost. But the last time he led Liverpool as a guest in the Merseyside derby, the German strategist could not maintain his unbeaten streak. In the context of thirst for victory in the championship race, Liverpool once again shot themselves in the foot.
Just like the 0-1 loss to Crystal Palace in mid-month, Liverpool could not score despite creating many opportunities. Klopp’s players held the ball 77% of the time at Goodison Park, but were still defeated by defensive mistakes.
