Sutton predicts tight Everton vs Liverpool clash
Speaking via BBC Sport, Sutton acknowledged that while we showed signs of life against PSG, the bigger picture is now all about finishing the campaign strongly in the league.
“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.”
The ex-Blackburn forward then pointed to the reality of our situation, with Arne Slot’s side now needing to secure Champions League qualification.
“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.”
