Everton thumped Liverpool U18s 4-0 in the mini-derby yesterday.
Goals from Eric Dier, Hallam Hope and John Lundstram put the hosts into a commanding interval lead before Anton Forrester sealed the points with a close range finish late on.
It means the Reds are now six points adrift of the Toffees who have just one game remaining.
However, with two games in hand and a superior goal difference Rodolfo Borrell's side will still harbour hopes of landing the title, albeit with an under strength side due to the forthcoming U17 European Championships.
