Can Everton finish above Liverpool this season?
Pundit Richard Keys says he is tipping Everton to finish above Liverpool this upcoming season after being impressed with their summer transfer activity.
The Toffees re-signed Wayne Rooney from Manchester United yesterday, adding him to new additions Jordan Pickford, Sandro, Davy Klaassen and Henry Onyekuru, with more expected to follow.

Keys, commenting on Twitter, says he expects Ronald Koeman’s side to finish above the Reds.

The Reds too are expected to add further signings, yet to bring in any players who will improve their shaky defence.
Liverpool finished above Everton last season by 15 points, and the Toffees are set to lose top goalscorer Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United.
Everton’s spending certainly raises the stakes on Merseyside, and Rooney’s return ensures the derbies this season are not to be missed.
