Liverpool v Everton Preview & Betting Tips

Wednesday | 19:00 UTC | Anfield | Premier League

The international break came at the perfect time for Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side had suffered a triple blow- elimination from both the FA Cup and Champions League, followed by a League Cup final loss at Wembley. Now, it’s derby day at Anfield- and a big chance to put the title chase to bed.

Liverpool are unbeaten in the league at home since September and will look to keep that run going, but Everton under David Moyes are a much-improved unit. This one has all the ingredients for a proper derby night under the lights.

Everton Resurgent Under Moyes

Everton make the short trip across Stanley Park on a 9 game unbeaten run in the Premier League. That stretch includes a feisty 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at Goodison. The Toffees have also scored in each of those 9 matches- something that’ll give them belief they can breach Liverpool’s backline again.

Defensively, though, they’ll be tested. The Toffees have conceded in 5 of their last 6 away league games and keeping Liverpool’s frontline quiet at Anfield is easier said than done.

How the Bookies See It

Instant Casino has Liverpool priced at 1.38 for the win. A draw is 4.90, while an Everton upset at Anfield is out at 8.40.

Head-to-Head: Anfield Dominance

Liverpool have won each of the last three Premier League meetings at Anfield by a 2-0 scoreline. But with Everton’s improved attack and Liverpool’s recent vulnerability at the back, this one could be a touch tighter.

Players to Watch

Mohamed Salah is the man for the big occasion, and with 9 goals and 4 assists in his last 8 league games, he’s the standout anytime scorer pick. The Egyptian has also scored 8 career goals against Everton.

Beto has found form under Moyes, scoring 5 times in his last 8 league appearances. He’s a lively option to get on the scoresheet or at least register a shot on target.
