Everton vs Liverpool Preview
Everton
Everton have not lost in their last five matches at Goodison Park, conceding just two goals.
The Toffees achieved a convincing 4-0 victory against Wolverhampton in their latest match in midweek. All four of Everton’s goals came from set pieces, including corners and free kicks, which also led to two own goals from Wolverhampton players.
Sean Dyche’s team demonstrated excellent organisation on the pitch, limiting dangerous moments near their own goal.

It is especially worth noting Jarrad Branthwaite. After a disappointing game against Manchester United, he showed a great game in the defence line in the match with Wolves, winning most of his personal duels with opponents.
After a shaky start to the season, Everton have significantly stabilised their defensive play, especially in home games. In their next match, their intense play and commitment to defensive work will undoubtedly create problems for a tired Liverpool team.

Liverpool
Liverpool have conceded nine goals in their last four away games while scoring 11 goals. Arne Slot’s side has won the away games primarily through attacking plays while often making defensive errors.
Following Ibrahima Konaté’s injury before the match against Newcastle, which ended in a 3-3 draw, the Reds have relied on Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah in their defensive line. This has led to frequent lapses in defence, as both players struggled with positioning and were outpaced by Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.

Ahead of the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Slot’s team’s problems look threatening, and the likelihood of losing points has increased significantly. Without Ibrahima Konaté and with no alternative for the fatigued defensive midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool is highly likely to experience a crisis period and lose serious points.
However, their group of attacking players led by the “Egyptian King” Mohamed Salah, can compensate for the defensive problems with their regular goals, as reflected in the 11 Liverpool goals scored in the last four away matches.

Everton vs Liverpool Player Focus
Mohamed Salah has scored goals or made assists in 17 of Liverpool’s 21 matches this season, which is a phenomenal achievement. Traditionally, the Egyptian forward is very powerful in the first part of the season, but usually, due to fatigue, injuries, and departures for the Africa Cup of Nations, he experiences a slump in the second part of the season.
It will be interesting to see if he can maintain his current level of performance throughout the remainder of the season.
Bet hereEverton vs Liverpool Preview, Tactical Analysis
Everton are attacking in a 4-2-3-1 formation this season with a narrow arrangement of attacking players and active full-backs on the flanks.
In defence, Sean Dyche’s team rebuilds to 4-4-2 / 4-5-1, focusing on compactly covering the entrance to the penalty area in a low block.
For Liverpool, it will be crucial not to be outmatched in aggression by Everton, as happened last season at Goodison Park. Additionally, they should take full advantage of the vulnerabilities of Ashley Young and Vitaliy Mykolenko, who are prone to defensive errors in matches against top opponents.
Everton vs Liverpool Prediction
- Football Pick: Total shots on target. Mohamed Salah Over 1.5
- Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Everton 0-1 Liverpool
Mohamed Salah has had an incredible performance in recent matches, making the Reds the leader in expected goals and second in actual goals scored.
In the match against Newcastle, he had four shots, two of which were on target, and in the game against Southampton, he had four shots on target. In the upcoming encounter, he will surely have opportunities to make more than one on-target kick.
No matter how hard the Everton players try, they can hardly neutralise Salah, who is in such hot form.
Everton vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Player to provide an assist or to score goal: Mohamed Salah
- Odds: TBC (22Bet)
Mohamed Salah is the most productive player in the Premier League. He ranks first in the list of top scorers with 13 goals, overtaking even Erling Haaland, and second when it comes to assists (8). He’s been directly involved in 21 of Liverpool’s 29 goals this season, which is impressive.
The Reds’ success will depend heavily on the Egyptian striker’s performance in a difficult match against Everton at Goodison Park.
