The result would have frustrated Everton boss Brian Sorensen with his side now winless in four games across all competitions.
Although wins have proven to be hard to come by in recent weeks, Sorensen will be pleased with the progress his side have made in his first season in charge, having already matched their 20-point tally from the 2021-22 campaign.
As a result, sixth-placed Everton are currently six points better off than their local rivals, who they comfortably swept aside by a 3-0 scoreline when the sides met earlier this season.
Goals from Megan Finnigan, Jess Park and Hanna Bennison guided the Toffees to a comfortable victory at Anfield, ensuring Everton have now won their last three competitive meetings with Liverpool.
Liverpool bounced back from consecutive defeats against Leicester and Arsenal to beat Tottenham 2-1 in their previous fixture on March 12.
As a result of their third WSL victory of the season, Liverpool have moved seven points clear of the one and only relegation place.
Although the Reds look well set to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, they have struggled on their travels this season, picking up two points from their six away league matches.
As one of two WSL teams yet to win a league game on the road this season, Liverpool will be desperate to secure a victory in one of their final four away fixtures of the 2022-23 campaign.
It will be a tough game for both teams. They are a good side and I like their manager, Brian Sorensen. I think Everton are very methodical in the way that they play and they have had a lot of changes obviously the new manager coming in the summer and lots of changes throughout.
They have had a good season. They have been a little bit up and down as of late but they are a good team, they play good football and they’ve got players who can hurt you. They are well organised and disciplined.
All these things go out of the window in a Merseyside derby, though, as it is the passion of a derby. I’ve been involved in enough of these games over the years with Liverpool to know the team that can stay in control generally is the team that comes out on top.
I’ve been impressed with Everton and Brian this season but from our perspective I really want to make sure we get the bragging rights for our supporters.
We’ve just got to go out there and play with no fear. I think we are in a good position in the WSL table and we’ve got a good run of games between now and the end of April where I feel we can fulfil our potential.
