The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in the Premier League era is set to be an emotional and intense battle with Liverpool, who are winless in their last two trips to Goodison Park, needing a win to further secure the title.
Everton, in strong league form under David Moyes, will look to frustrate Liverpool, who are chasing crucial points in the title race.
Liverpool aim to bounce back from a shocking FA Cup exit, while Everton, buoyed by three straight league wins, seeks a historic back-to-back derby victory for the first time in 40 years.
🔵Everton Look to Continue Resurgence in Derby⚔️| Home Win = 6.40💵
Everton have found a new lease of life under Moyes, winning three consecutive league games and moving nine points of the relegation zone. Their attacking form has improved, scoring eight goals in those three victories.
However, their record against teams starting the day top of the table is poor, with only four wins in their last 47 such encounters. The Toffees must overcome history and find a way to secure a rare derby triumph in a game that was supposed to take place long ago.
🔴Liverpool Eye Top Spot Push🫸 | Away Win = 1.47💵
Liverpool arrive at Goodison needing a response after a humiliating FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle. Despite that setback, they remain 19 games unbeaten in the Premier League and are the outright favourites for the title.
Arne Slot’s men will know that victory here extends their lead over Arsenal to nine points, making this a crucial match. With just two wins in their last 12 trips to Goodison, the Reds must be at their best to take all three points.
🔑Key Players & Team News📰:
Everton may welcome back Vitalii Mykolenko from injury, while Jack Harrison could start after an impressive substitute appearance last weekend. Beto will lead the attack in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja.
Liverpool is expected to make wholesale changes from their FA Cup defeat, with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk all set to return. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold remains sidelined, denying Slot’s team of his creativity.
