Score prediction: Everton 1-3 Liverpool
Despite City's uncharacteristic struggle to break down West Ham, you get the distinct feeling that Liverpool cannot afford to drop many - if any - more points between now and the end of the season if they are to successfully end their 29-year title drought.
Everton were in particularly disappointing form before brushing aside a poor Cardiff outfit and will likely struggle to contain a Reds attack that got back to firing on all cylinders against Watford, even without Firmino in the lineup.
