Everton and Liverpool clash in the Merseyside Derby in the 2025/26 Premier League as the race for European football continues.
Everton host their neighbours for the first time at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, in the middle of their push to qualify for a European competition.
The hosts have lost only one of their last five matches and took crucial points away from Brentford in their latest match.
Manager David Moyes’ side are only one point away from a Europa League place, whilst they sit just five points behind Liverpool, who occupy the final Champions League spot.
Liverpool ended a run of three Premier League matches without a win in their latest match, though they were dumped out of the Champions League by PSG during the week.
Manager Arne Slot’s side will also be without top scorer Hugo Ekitike for the remainder of the season, after he went off with an injury during the loss to PSG.
What are the best bets for Everton vs Liverpool?
Everton to win, Under 2.5 goals
Expect a very spirited affair in this game, and it’s a game that I fancy Everton to take advantage of a potentially jaded Liverpool side.
Alexander Isak isn’t fit enough to play a full match, so the Reds are lacking in the striker department.
I’ll back Everton to win this game and under 2.5 goals, as I expect a very competitive match in which both teams will prioritise not losing instead of winning the game.
But Everton’s form has been brilliant, and with European football the clear incentive, I’m backing them to get the job done.
Over 4.5 cards
As is often the case in Derby matches, I expect there to be cards shown to both teams.
I’m adding over 4.5 cards to my betslip, as I think both sides will compete in a physical encounter.
