Match Preview
Liverpool will be looking to maintain their chase for a second Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp this week, as they look to record a second straight success. The Reds come into this round of matches sitting second in the standings, trailing Arsenal on goal difference. However, a much-needed return to winning ways was recorded against Fulham last Sunday.
Everton also picked up vital points in their chase to avoid relegation, claiming a 2-0 home success against Nottingham Forest. That was their second win in three league matches, and it means that they are now five points clear of the drop zone. However, there will be continued pressure on the Toffees in this final Merseyside derby to be played at Goodison Park.

Everton’s chances of victory this week will be impacted based on the fact that they are winless in their last 12 league fixtures against Liverpool at Goodison. However, nine of the matches over that period have ended in draws. But, it is their longest winless sequence against a single side in league history. Liverpool have lost just once in their last 26 league matches against the Toffees.
The Reds also come into this derby match after winning four of the last five against their rivals, keeping clean sheets in each of the last four. Ill-discipline has been a recurring theme in this fixture, with Everton vs Liverpool seeing more red cards than any other matchup in Premier League history. A 16th red card for Everton was dished out in the reverse fixture after Ashley Young was sent off.
Everton vs Liverpool Prediction
Everton’s recent win against Forest will raise their prospects of survival. However, it appears challenging to see them overcoming the odds this week based on their poor record against their local rivals.
