Odds: Everton 6/1* – Draw 18/5* – Liverpool 2/5*
Liverpool were hugely impressive in their recent 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Arne Slot’s side showed attacking threat and defensive strength to solidify their position at the top of the English Premier League going into a busy festive period.
On the other hand, Everton were dismantled by a resurgent Manchester United under Ruben Amorim, losing 4-0 and gifting the Old Trafford side numerous goals from defensive mistakes.
They will have to be so much better at the back if they’re to keep their Merseyside rivals at bay this weekend. Let’s look at your Merseyside Derby betting options at Parimatch Sportsbook.
Everton v Liverpool Betting Tips
- These two rivals have been in contrasting recent form. Liverpool have won four of their past five matches, while Everton have lost two of their last five and drawn three. Given Liverpool’s form and impressive results under Slot, we predict Merseyside to be red.
- Everton’s main issue is their inability to find the net. The Toffees have only scored once in their past five matches, with the solitary goal coming in a 1-1 home draw against Fulham. Therefore, betting on Liverpool to win to nil could be a good wager.
- Mo Salah has scored three goals in his past three games against Everton. Given the Egyptian’s scintillating recent form, choosing him as a first or anytime goalscorer in this match could be a good bet.
This Fixture in History
Everton and Liverpool have met 64 times in the Premier League era. Unsurprisingly, the Reds have the upper hand, with 28 wins to Everton’s 11. 17 of those wins have come at Anfield, while Liverpool have enjoyed victory at Goodison on 11 occasions.
Intriguingly, four of the past five matches between these two have ended 2-0. Liverpool have won three of the past five games by a 2-0 scoreline, while Everton’s shock April 2024 win over the Reds also ended 2-0. The only outlier in this pattern came in September 2022, when the two teams played out a dour 0-0 draw at Goodison.
So, if you’re looking to place a correct score wager on this match, 2-0 to Liverpool is worth considering if history is to repeat itself.
Everton Man to Watch: Jordan Pickford
Due to Everton’s recent abysmal form, it’s difficult to pick a standout player to watch. If they have any chance of taking points off their rivals, England’s number one Jordan Pickford will have to be at his best.
Before Everton’s 4-0 thrashing at Old Trafford, Pickford had kept two clean sheets on the bounce, one against Brentford and one against West Ham, so if he’s in top form, he could keep Liverpool at bay.
Liverpool Man to Watch: Mo Salah
Liverpool’s Egyptian superstar is back to his best, and although he’s unlikely to sign a contract extension at Anfield, he looks set to finish his career at Liverpool with a bang. Salah was instrumental in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Man City, providing a brilliant assist and tucking away a perfect penalty.
Salah has seven goals in 11 EPL appearances against Everton, including three in his last three against the Toffees. Don’t bet against the Egyptian winger finding the net again this weekend.
