Our predictions for Liverpool vs Everton
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool to Win | 2/5 @ Sky Bet (67.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Liverpool have started the season with five wins from five games, four in the Premier League and one in the Champions League. They’ve scored 12 goals in this period, beating the likes of Newcastle, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid and the Arne Slot machine seems to show no sign of slowing. Everton haven’t started the season badly, winning two of their four games but have dropped points against Leeds and Aston Villa and have struggled to find the net, scoring five goals in four games. |
| Liverpool to win, Alexander Isak anytime scorer and Idrissa Gueye to be booked. | 5/1 @ Sky Bet (51.3%) | ⭐⭐ | Liverpool come into this game as favourites and we’re backing them to make it six out of six. Alexander Isak made his Liverpool debut against Atletico Madrid in midweek, and showed some promise and the Merseyside derby is the perfect time for him to grab his first goal for the Anfield club. Idrissa Gueye was booked nine times last season and, in what should be a high tempered affair, he should be a good shout to find his name in the referees book |
Liverpool vs Everton Match Odds
How both teams go into Liverpool vs Everton
Liverpool’s performances might not have been the best to start the season, conceding an average of a goal a game, but the results have been perfect. They’ve won all four of their Premier League games this season and each game has been a story of keeping going until the end, with all four games seeing them score late to clinch the three points. Whilst this run probably isn’t sustainable, it’s shown that Liverpool are capable of doing what they need to do to get the win.
They also started their Champions League campaign with a victory, with yet another late goal securing them a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening.
Everton haven’t had the worst start to their own Premier League campaign, overcoming defeat on the opening weekend of the season to claim victories against Brighton and Wolves before managing a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa. Goals, as have often been the case for the Toffees, have been an issue for the side, with blanks against Leeds and Aston Villa but their solid defence has performed well with just three goals conceded in their four games.
