The good news for Liverpool is that this may be as hard as it gets. The only team wishing to deny them as badly as Everton between now and the end of the season will be Arsenal and by the time they visit Anfield on May 10, this title race may be all but over.
This was difficult for Liverpool. It was really difficult. Deep into injury time – at around about the time Everton got them at Goodison in mid-February – the nerves that threatened to derail Liverpool in the first half were back and they were giving the ball away and inviting pressure.
