“Could Everton Actually Finish Above Liverpool? Villa Win Adds To Liverpool Pressure”

Results are starting to go against Liverpool F.C. almost every week now, and the latest round of fixtures has made the Premier League table look even more worrying.

Yesterday, Everton F.C. beating Chelsea F.C. helped Liverpool stay 5th in the table for now, but it also brought Everton to within three points of Liverpool, which is a sentence no Liverpool fan would have expected to read this season.

And today, things got even worse.

Aston Villa Win Doesn’t Help Either

Aston Villa F.C. beating West Ham United F.C. is another result that does Liverpool absolutely no favours. Villa are one of the teams Liverpool are competing with for European places, and every time they win while Liverpool drop points, the gap becomes harder to close.

Instead of Liverpool climbing the table, other teams are picking up points and pulling away, while teams below are catching up. That is the worst possible combination.

Looking Up And Looking Down

Liverpool are now in a position where they are:

Trying to catch the teams above them Trying to keep Everton behind them Trying to stay in the European places

That is not where this squad should be. When you look at the players Liverpool have available:

Mohamed Salah Virgil van Dijk Alisson Becker Dominik Szoboszlai

This is a squad that should be competing near the top of the league, not stuck in a battle for European places and looking nervously at Everton closing the gap.

Could Everton Actually Finish Above Liverpool?

It still sounds unthinkable, but if Liverpool’s league form continues like this and Everton keep picking up points, it becomes a real possibility. And if that happened, it would be one of the most embarrassing seasons for Liverpool in the Premier League era.

Liverpool still have time to fix this, but the margin for error is getting smaller every week. Results are going against them, teams around them are winning, and the pressure is growing with every match.

Liverpool don’t just need a win in the next game — they need a run of wins, otherwise this season could end far worse than anyone expected a few months ago.
