The recent run of positive results is insane, according to boss Juergen Klopp.
The Reds have dropped four points in the league since December, but still trail Manchester City by a point.
They have a chance for a quadruple, with the FA Cup final and a semi-final to come.
The amount of wins we have had in recent months is insane.
You have to work. The boys did it again. I am really happy.
The Reds have won 13 of their 15 league games since their loss at Leicester in December, and they have also beaten City in the FA Cup and Benfica in the last eight. The Carabao Cup was won in February.
The Reds were frustrated by a stubbornEverton in the first half of the game, but a headed goal from Andrew Robertson broke the tension and Divock Origi scored his sixth derby goal to seal the points.
The game has two halves, and we didn't play well in the first half. We did not get in behind the last line. We did not have enough movement.
We weren't quick enough. They had nine players and we passed the ball to them. We caused more problems in the second half.
We stayed calm and cool. Fresh players, different formation, the changes helped. It was difficult for the opposition.
We won 2-0 and it is absolutely fine.
The players clashed in the first half after Richarlison was not put down for a foul, and at times it looked like the game was about to get out of hand.
The referee booked Anthony Gordon for diving after he went down in the box following home challenges.
The away side would have had a chance to open the scoring if both of them had been awarded a penalty.
I think they both could have been penalties, but you often don't get them at Anfield, said the boss, whose side are now in the bottom three.
The fact that he gets booked is crazy. There was a foul on the pitch in the second one. Sometimes you don't get them here.
The second spot-kick was clearly not a penalty according to Klopp. He is really good but he is lucky not to get a second yellow. The first was not a penalty and the second was not.
The goal by Origi on Sunday was the latest instance of the Belgian scoring important goals for the Reds.
He has scored 11 goals as a substitute in the league, more than any other player.
He is out of contract in the summer and could leave the club after eight seasons.
He will explode wherever he goes if he leaves.
He doesn't always make the squad, but he is there when we need him.
Everything that we did in the second half would not have happened without Divock.
The group lives because of the boys that don't always play, they are the strongest players ever. They are in great shape, but the way they act is what makes us do these kinds of things.
