The January transfer window has come to a close with the usual flurry of activity as clubs hurried to beat the Feb 1 deadline. Meanwhile, the season settles into its second half, and the traditional battle lines are being drawn up; who’ll win the battle for first? Who’ll win the battle for 4th? Who’ll be able to avoid relegation?

Liverpool vs. Everton

Liverpool picked up three vital points last weekend in their 2-0 victory over Bolton at Anfield. Dirk Kuyt bagged his eigth goal of the season to put the Reds in the lead; Insua got Liverpool’s second when his errant shot took a wicked deflection off Kevin Davies. Ngog missed what looked like a sitter when Jaaskalienen parried a Gerrard shot. Must it be said that they miss Fernando Torres’s scoring prowess? The Reds are in fifth place on 41 points. They gained ground on fourth place Tottenham, who only managed a point against Birmingham. Speculation on manager Rafa Benitez’s future job prospects continues, but the win over Bolton takes some pressure off him. A win for Liverpool on Saturday combined with anything less than a win for Spurs will put Liverpool into fourth, right where Rafa Benitez promised they would be by the end of the season.

Everton have been gaining strength. With four wins in their last five Premier League games and nine consecutive league games unbeaten, they are now on a run of form that recalls last season’s fine run. Mikel Arteta has returned from injury. Philippe Senderos has come in on loan from Arsenal. Landon Donovan, on loan from the LA Galaxy, got his first goal for the club in the 2-0 win over Sunderland. And of course Marouane Fallaini, Steven Pienaar and Tim Cahill have been commanding in the midfield. Everton lost to Liverpool at Goodison Park in the earlier fixture this season, so they’ll see a win as a just reward that may have the positive side effect of moving them closer to a Europa League entry. Watch Liverpool vs Everton Live

It’s a dogfight at the top for first place and a dogfight at the bottom to get clear from relegation. Meanwhile middle-of-the-pack clubs aim for a fourth place finish, for that will get them the chance at Champion’s League football next season. It has been a long while since the English top flight had so many quality clubs. Is the English Premier League the world’s best? Some would argue. But for sheer excitement at both ends of the table and in the middle too, it is clearly hard to top.
