Everton vs Liverpool Preview
Both teams secured Premier League victories over the weekend, bolstering their respective positions in the table. Liverpool’s 3-1 win against Fulham propelled them to the same point total as Arsenal, sharing the top spot with five games remaining.
Liverpool experienced a setback in the title race, losing control following their 2-2 draw with Manchester United and a subsequent 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.
Although Liverpool and Arsenal hold just a one-point advantage over Manchester City, who have a game in hand, the Reds can put pressure on, as Manchester City won’t play until after Liverpool’s clash with Everton.
As for Everton, they may feel more confident about avoiding relegation now. Despite enduring a prolonged period without a win in the Premier League, Everton has won two out of their last three matches, with their only stumble being a 6-0 loss against Chelsea.
Everton’s winless streak ended with a 1-0 victory over Burnley. Then, Everton secured a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest over the weekend, although the match was surrounded by controversy due to several denied penalties for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. Despite this, the win was crucial for the Toffees as it came against a fellow relegation contender.
Everton vs Liverpool Betting Tips and Predictions
Liverpool To Win
The Reds to win and both teams to score is our first tip for Wednesday night’s derby, which is 23/50 on Lucky Block’s latest Everton vs Liverpool odds.
Jurgen Klopp’s team has performed well on the road lately, remaining undefeated in their last four away games. Additionally, they have only suffered one defeat in their last five Premier League matches, a form they will aim to maintain during their upcoming visit to Goodison Park.
In their last five encounters, Liverpool have emerged as winners in four of them and drawn once against Everton, indicating a strong likelihood of another win, especially since they understand the stakes in a tightly contested title race.
As mentioned earlier, it’s essential for Liverpool to secure a win to keep their title hopes alive, as a loss or draw could see City or Arsenal gain further ground. Nevertheless, we are confident that Liverpool will come out on top away from home.
Under 2.5 Goals
We expect the Toffees to provide a tough challenge for Liverpool, as Sean Dyche’s side will probably set up defensively to prevent conceding. Consequently, Liverpool will face the task of breaking down Everton’s resilient defence.
Furthermore, if this game follows the pattern of previous matchups between these two sides, then in the last four meetings, there hasn’t been a single match where more than two goals were scored.
We predict a repetition of this trend in the upcoming match, with Liverpool tasked with overcoming a defence that has kept clean sheets in their last two home matches. This scenario sets the stage for a tightly contested game, with few goals expected.
