Everton: The Rival Liverpool Now Adores
Everton's recent performances have unexpectedly benefited Liverpool, as they held off key rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City, aiding Liverpool's title aspirations.
In a surprising turn of events, Everton has become an unlikely ally to their historic rivals, Liverpool. Over the past three matches, Everton has managed to hold off Liverpool's main competitors: Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
This sequence began on December 14, when Everton traveled to London and secured a 0-0 draw against Arsenal. The following week, they hosted Chelsea at Goodison Park, achieving another goalless draw. Most recently, Everton completed their trio of impressive results with a 1-1 draw at Manchester City, keeping Pep Guardiola's side in a challenging position.
These outcomes have been advantageous for Liverpool, who currently sit atop the Premier League with 39 points from 16 matches. With a game in hand over both Chelsea and Arsenal, Liverpool's position has been strengthened, thanks in part to Everton's resilience against their closest challengers.
As a result, Liverpool supporters find themselves in the unusual position of appreciating Everton's recent contributions, despite the longstanding rivalry between the two Merseyside clubs.
