David Moyes’s plan for dealing with league leaders Liverpool in the Anfield derby was a sensible one on paper. Any time the ball came to Jack Grealish or Iliman Ndiaye, Liverpool crowded them out, overwhelming the wingers with two or three midfielders. In the first half, Liverpool won the battle for second balls, winning 54% of ground duels and 56% of aerial duels. Everton won more tackles, and made more interceptions and blocks. The visitors also won 61% of ground duels, winning a total of 31 duels to Liverpool’s 24.
