Liverpool will have one goal when they face Everton in the English Premier League on Saturday, to end their winning streak. On the other hand, Arsenal will face Manchester City.

The team's goal is to make themselves strong contenders for the title. Troubled Manchester United host Chelsea in another key fixture this weekend. 

Liverpool's last win over Atletico Madrid in European Champions League football was also achieved in injury time. Virgil van Dijk scored a header to give Liverpool the win. So Andy Robertson wants, this time, the victory to be normal, even if it's just a little bit. Liverpool's four wins in the league were scored only at the end of the game. 

Left-back Robertson said before the Merseyside derby, 'We want the victory that we get to be easy from now on. A win at the end of the game puts everyone under stress.' 

Everton itself is also in rhythm. Therefore, this time for Liverpool, the neighboring club will be a strong opponent. The team has had a strong start to the season under the leadership of David Moyes. So the team is also excited. 

But Everton won't have it easy for themselves at Anfield, because history won't be on their side. Everton have won just one of their last 28 home games against Liverpool. Before the last match against Liverpool, Arsenal gave a slogan last month, "We will prove it." But according to the slogan, Arsenal could not do the job. 

Arsenal was defeated 1-0 in that match. Now once again he will be under pressure to prove that slogan. Arsenal have been in second place for the last three seasons in a row. On two of those occasions, Arsenal were right behind City. Arsenal have not beaten City, home or away, for 8 years. But now the plan will be to get the third consecutive victory in the league in the Emirates game. 

City themselves have not beaten Arsenal since 2023. A win in north London this time around would be a huge achievement for manager Pep Guardiola. City, which fell disappointingly to third place last season, is in the process of rebuilding the team this time. When City's neighbors United face Chelsea, the only question will be, how long will coach Ruben Amorim get his chance? 

United's performances have been consistently poor since Amorim's arrival. Not only that, meanwhile, no one else has performed as poorly as United this term. United managed only 31 points in 31 games under his leadership. Last week with City 

Defeated United will also fall into the relegation zone if they lose against Chelsea. Therefore, many speculate, sooner or later Amorim will be fired.
