‘That’s how Everton fans think…’ Michael Owen hits back at Leon Osman’s claim about Liverpool game

A lot will be on the line when Liverpool make the short trip across Merseyside to lock horns with Everton.

For Liverpool, they have Premier League title matters on their mind, whilst Sean Dyche’s side aren’t yet safe from dropping down to the Championship.

On Sunday, Everton did secure a very important 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest to push themselves away from danger.

That means that the Toffees will go into the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday night with more confidence and belief that they can ruin Liverpool’s season.

You would think that those in Everton colours would be thinking of getting three points to ensure their safety.

But ex-midfielder Leon Osman has other things on his mind as he also wants to stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League title.

Yes, the title is still in the hands of Manchester City, but if the Reds win their remaining matches, then the race will go to the final day, at the very least.

Nonetheless, Osman claimed that it would be a ‘great incentive for the blue half of Merseyside’ to beat their neighbours and knock them out of the title race, as he told Premier League Productions (21/04/24 at 7:25 pm).
