While Liverpool’s hopes of successfully defending their Premier League title were extinguished some time ago, Arne Slot’s side’s hopes of a strong end to the season were boosted at the weekend when they claimed a last-gasp win over local rivals Everton.
Skipper Virgil van Dijk netted in the tenth minute of stoppage time to win the first Merseyside derby played at the Toffees' Hill Dickinson Stadium, a result which also boosted the Reds’ hopes of securing a Champions League place.
