Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

Top teams Everton FC (3-1-3, 12 points) and Liverpool FC (3-2-2, 11 points) battle it out at the Goodison Park on Sunday, October 4 to try and improve their slates in the 2015-2016 Premier League table.

Both clubs are within striking distance of current league-leaders Manchester United and Manchester City, who has 16 and 15 points respectively. If they could win their next couple of games and both Manchester clubs lose or draw theirs, then they have a shot at the top spot.

Everton is coming off a 3-2 victory over West Brom in their last match at the Hawthorns on Monday.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku scored a double while Ivorian forward Arouna Koné added one to pull off the win for the Toffees, as per Bleacher Report.

Meanwhile, Liverpool somehow halted its decline with a 3-2 win against Aston Villa at the Anfield last Saturday.

Striker Daniel Sturridge had a brace after vice-captain James Milner scored at the 2nd-minute to overcome Villa forward Rudy Gestede's double, via the Daily Mirror.

With their wins, Everton extended their unbeaten run to four games while the Reds managed to win their second game in a row.

One of these streaks is set to be halted in this match and it looks like Roberto Martinez's team will pull off the stunner.

Prediction: A close 2-1 win for Everton.
