Everton Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 13-8-11
- Home Record: 6-4-6
- Road Record: 7-4-5
- Top Goal Scorer: Beto (7)
David Moyes continues to do a remarkable job since returning to Everton, and the Toffees could yet achieve a European finish in 2025-26.
A win on Sunday could even put the club within two points of their city rivals in the Champions League race. Everton have won three of their last five, but they were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at Brentford last weekend.
Everton have finally looked to have made themselves at home at the Hill Dickinson, winning each of their previous two. Beto is a man in form at present, registering five goal involvements in as many Premier League appearances.
Team News:
Carlos Alcaraz (Knock)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto
Liverpool Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 15-7-10
- Home Record: 9-4-3
- Road Record: 6-3-7
- Top Goal Scorer: Hugo Ekitike (11)
Questions revolving around the long term future of Arne Slot were once again posed in midweek, as Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League with a limp display against PSG.
To make matters worse, leading scorer Hugo Ekitike limped off in the defeat and is expected to miss the next nine months of action. However, the Reds will take confidence from a win against Fulham last Saturday, which saw them end a four-game winless domestic run.
Wins on the road have been an issue for the reigning champions this season, winning just three of their last 22. Furthermore, they have lost six of their last seven against teams starting the day in the top half of the standings.
Team News:
Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Alisson (Muscle), Conor Bradley (Knee)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili (GK); Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak
Everton vs. Liverpool Prop Pick
Merseyside Derbies are typically competitive affairs, meaning that the physicality in the middle of the field is expected to lead to cards. James Garner has enjoyed an excellent season, but he has picked up eight yellows.
The England international is a consistent offender for the Toffees, averaging 2.94 tackles and being involved in 8.24 ground duels per appearance.
Bet on James Garner to be Carded vs. Liverpool @ +240 with BetOnline.
Head-to-Head Trends
- Everton have won just once in their last 14 EPL home matches against Liverpool. However, ten matches over this period have ended in draws.
- Liverpool have registered back-to-back wins against the Toffees, but they haven’t recorded three straight victories since April 2017.
Everton vs. Liverpool Picks
Liverpool provide little value in the betting this weekend based on their poor record on the road. Derbies between these sides are typically low-scoring affairs, with chances typically at a premium. Therefore, a low-scoring draw and a result of 0-0 or 1-1 is an interesting angle.
