DBasia.news – Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti admits that he believes his squad can win during the Merseyside Derby match against Liverpool on Saturday (17/10).
Liverpool and Everton have met 237 times since 1894. The Toffees are still inferior, having lost 121 times despite winning 82 games.
“I’m not worried. Everything that happened in the past has passed. We live in the present, and we will compete in this fantastic match. We have to be ready,” Ancelotti said as quoted by the Liverpool Echo, Saturday (17/10).
Everton are having the upper hand this season. Of the four matches they always win so that they top the standings.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are still trying to slowly adjust to the situation. What’s more, they were just humiliated by Aston Villa with a score of 2-7, two weeks ago.
Ancelotti also did not want to underestimate Liverpool who came to Goodison Park with a capital defeat to Aston Villa. But after seeing the condition of his players, he is sure the three points will go to the hosts this time.
“It looks like I will sleep soundly tonight. I have a good feeling about the match. We have confidence and focus on the players,” concluded the former Real Madrid manager.
