Intro
The rearranged Merseyside Derby will take place on Wednesday evening with both teams needing maximum points for different reasons. Everton are currently two places clear of the drop zone, while the Reds are top of the table by six points.
Toffees Gradually Improving Under Moyes
It feels like Everton have been in a relegation battle non stop for four or five years. They looked like they were going to be dragged into a real dogfight at the bottom before the sacking of Sean Dyche.
They replaced Dyche with former boss David Moyes, and although he still has a lot of work to do to turn the club around, the future does look a little bit better.
His first game in charge saw the Blues lose 1-0 at home to Aston Villa. Since then, they have won three Premier League matches in succession against Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City.
The Toffees did crash out of the FA Cup at the hands of Bournemouth, but Moyes’ number one job is to keep his team in the Premier League - at the moment he is on track to do just that.
It currently looks like the Everton players want to play for Moyes and they embraced his style of play. Already, the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Illiman Ndiaye and Beto have improved massively.
The Toffees have some injury concerns with Dwight McNeill, Calvert-Lewin doubts whether they will feature against Liverpool. Seamus Coleman is currently recovering from a calf problem and has not yet ruled himself out.
Reds Keen To Move Closer To Title
Liverpool fans would love nothing more than to see their team win the Premier League title again and see Everton relegated in the same season.
Only one of them might happen this season, but the Reds can dream anyway.
Liverpool lead the way at the top of the Premier League table thanks to 17 league wins and just one defeat. They are currently six points clear of Arsenal in second place and this game in hand could see them move nine points clear with a win.
In the Premier League, the Reds have won three on the bounce against Brentford, Ipswich Town and Bournemouth.
Liverpool have not tasted defeat in the Premier League since they lost at home to Nottingham Forest in September. They have since gone 19 Premier League games undefeated.
It is not all rosy for Liverpool as they also crashed out of the FA Cup at the weekend when Arne Slot sent a youthful side to Plymouth Argyle and they suffered a 1-0 loss at Home Park.
The likes of Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah were not risked at Plymouth and should come back into the team, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to shrug off a muscle problem and feature at Goodison Park.
Head To Head
The Merseyside derby is an intense rivalry with both grounds currently just separated by Stanley Park. This is Blue versus Red, wife against husband and son versus dad. This game means the world to both sets of supporters.
The Blues have won 54 of their 203 meetings with Liverpool with the Reds coming out victorious 82 times. This meeting has ended in a draw on 67 occasions.
This is the first meeting this season after snowfall prevented this match from taking place last year.
The last three Premier League matches between these two rivals have ended in a 2-0 outcome. Everton won the last one in April 2024, while Liverpool won the previous two by the same scoreline.
Liverpool have not won at Goodison Park since their 4-1 hammering of the Toffees in 2021, but they have won four out of their last six meetings.

Although Everton and Moyes’ main aim is to avoid relegation to the Championship, they would love to throw a spanner in the works and make Liverpool’s title challenge a little bit more difficult.
Liverpool look in cruise control in the Premier League. They have lost just once this season and already hold a six point lead over nearest challengers Arsenal. However, this is a derby game and anything can happen.

Salah & Gakpo To Score In Comfortable Reds Win
We are hopeless romantics here at Betting.co.uk. We would like nothing more than Everton to win and make the title race a little bit more interesting.
Unfortunately, we cannot see this happening. Slot will be unhappy at going out of the FA Cup despite playing a weakened side, but he has his eyes on the prize in terms of the Premier League title.
A win or even a point for Everton would put some life back into the title race and this fixture, but Liverpool are levels ahead of most teams and they should have no problem beating the Toffees.
Cody Gakpo looks to have found the form that made Liverpool sign him. He has impressed this season with eight Premier League goals to his name and 16 goals in all competitions.
We are backing him to get on the score sheet, but we do not think he’ll be alone. Mohamed Salah is without doubt the best striker in the league. He has scored 21 goals in the Premier League already this season, while he has scored 26 altogether.
Together, these two players will cause Everton a whole host of problems and we are backing them both to score with Liverpool winning to nil.
