Everton v Liverpool: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Liverpool will be eager to get back to winning ways when they take on Everton on Saturday in what will be the final Merseyside derby to take place at Goodison Park.

The Toffees will be moving to their new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock in Vauxhall, Liverpool from the 2025/26 campaign, with Goodison Park being demolished shortly after the conclusion of the current season.

There has been plenty of history between these two rivals over the years and it promises to be an intense, passion-filled affair in this Premier League encounter.

Everton v Liverpool betting tips and predictions

Liverpool to win and both teams to score - 2/1

Liverpool dropped points in the title race with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Wednesday, a result that leaves them seven points clear of Chelsea and Arsenal.

Having twice come from behind in that clash on Tyneside, the Reds looked to be on course for the win when Mohamed Salah netted his second of the game in the 83rd minute, only for Fabian Schar to slide in a late equaliser for the hosts after a mistake by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Both sides created plenty of chances during the match and a draw was arguably a fair result, with this six-goal spectacle adding to the long list of entertaining meetings these two have put on.

Despite the dropped points, Liverpool are still unbeaten in 10 away assignments in all competitions, winning eight and drawing two, and they have scored twice or more in eight of those fixtures.

Arne Slot's side have scored 29 goas in the league, only Chelsea (31) have managed more, and the Reds have netted three goals in each of their last three road games in all competitions.

Scoring goals has not been an issue on their travels, but conceding has, with nine strikes let in across their last four away contests against Arsenal, Brighton, Southampton and Newcastle.

Those frailties at the back could be exposed by an Everton side that rediscovered their scoring touch in Wednesday's 4-0 thrashing of Wolves at Goodison Park.

Sean Dyche's troops had gone four matches without finding the back of the net until this glut of goals and the former Burnley boss will be hoping the attacking momentum can be taken in this clash.

Everton have scored just 14 league goals from as many matches, but it's notable that nine of those have come at home and a raucous crowd can play their part again.

Recent history doesn't suggest their will be goals at both ends, as both teams to score hasn't landed in the last five meetings, but the pair will be eager to put on a show in the last Merseyside derby to take place at Goodison Park.

Liverpool have the resources to freshen up their side and get the win, but they may not be able to keep a clean sheet and this could turn out to be another entertaining affair.

Trent Alexander-Arnold to have over 0.5 assist - 3/1

With this game at 12:30 on Saturday, both teams will have had little time to recover from their Wednesday outings and changes are expected from the pair.

Liverpool boss Slot brought Trent Alexander-Arnold off the bench in the second half at St James' Park and he made an immediate response, providing the assist for Salah's first goal just a minute after coming onto the pitch.

The 26-year-old then set Salah up for his second and it would be a huge surprise if the England international was not recalled to the starting XI after that cameo.

Allowed freedom to get forward, Alexander-Arnold could be a huge threat down the right side and the 3/1 on him to notch a fourth assist of the campaign is hard to ignore.

Ashley Young to be booked - 9/4

Ashley Young is no spring chicken at the age of 39 and he could be in for a difficult night, especially if he doesn't get any help from his teammates.

The pace at which Liverpool play makes it hard for even the best defences in the world to cope and the former Manchester United star may fall foul of the referee here.

Young was sent off in the opening game of the campaign and has picked up four yellow cards in all competitions since.

With the likes of Luiz Diaz, Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo running at him, Young could be forced into making some rash challenges and a caution could be heading his way.
