Liverpool -1 to Win

Liverpool have dominated recent encounters with Everton, particularly in terms of controlling the scoreline. A 2-0 victory has been a recurring outcome in Merseyside derbies, with four of the last five meetings ending that way. Additionally, Liverpool have secured two wins by the same scoreline in their last three Premier League away matches.

Everton have shown improvement in their domestic form but continue to struggle against elite opposition. They failed to find the net in defeats against both Aston Villa and Bournemouth, highlighting their difficulties in front of goal against top-tier sides. Despite a managerial change, their attacking output remains inconsistent, which could play into Liverpool’s hands.

With Mohamed Salah leading the attacking line and Liverpool fielding their strongest possible starting XI, they are expected to put in a composed and professional performance. A win with at least a one-goal margin looks highly probable, particularly given their historical success in this fixture.

Under 2.5 Goals

Everton have struggled to create chances this season, a problem that ultimately contributed to Sean Dyche’s departure. Even with an uptick in their attacking play since David Moyes took charge, their matches have still largely remained low-scoring. Three of their five games under Moyes have featured two goals or fewer, and they have managed to keep two clean sheets in that period.

Defensively, Everton have been solid for much of the campaign, recording five goalless draws in the Premier League. In total, 17 of their 27 matches across all competitions have finished with under 2.5 goals. Their ability to frustrate opponents could limit the number of goals in this fixture, even if Liverpool ultimately emerge victorious.

Liverpool have been efficient rather than explosive in recent away matches, with controlled performances resulting in low-scoring wins. Given Everton’s defensive structure and Liverpool’s focus on securing results rather than engaging in open contests, a game with fewer than three goals seems likely.

Cody Gakpo to Assist

Mohamed Salah has rightly received plenty of plaudits for his goal-scoring exploits this season, but Cody Gakpo has also played a key role in Liverpool’s attacking success. Salah has been directly involved in 21 goals in Liverpool’s 12 Premier League away games this season, including eight assists. Notably, he has provided 10 assists for Gakpo since the Dutch forward joined the club, highlighting their strong on-field connection.

Gakpo has already netted 16 goals across all competitions this season, making this his second-most prolific campaign to date. His finishing has been particularly impressive, with a 19.05% shot-to-goal conversion rate in the league—his best since arriving in English football.

With Salah consistently creating chances and Gakpo proving clinical, there is a strong case for the Dutch forward providing an assist in this fixture. Liverpool’s front line will have plenty of opportunities against an Everton side that has defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in wide areas, making Gakpo a likely creator.

Ashley Young to be Shown a Card

Ashley Young has been no stranger to disciplinary trouble this season, having picked up five yellow cards and one red already. Given the intensity of the Merseyside derby, the experienced full-back could easily find himself in the referee’s book once again.

Everton’s defensive issues, particularly in the full-back positions, mean Young could be in for a difficult evening against Liverpool’s pacy attackers. With Salah likely to target Everton’s right side, Young may be forced into rash challenges to stop Liverpool’s main threat. His previous record suggests he is not afraid to make tactical fouls, and in a game where emotions tend to run high, the chances of him receiving a booking increase significantly.

Additionally, the derby atmosphere often leads to heated moments, with referees usually keen to maintain control by issuing cautions. If Young starts, there is every reason to expect his name to be taken down by the official at some point.

Mohamed Salah to Score First

Salah has been in formidable form this season, finding the net 21 times in the league. He was rested in Liverpool’s FA Cup exit against Plymouth, meaning he will be fresh and ready to make an impact at Goodison Park.

Everton’s defensive setup has improved under Moyes, but vulnerabilities remain, particularly against elite attackers. Their backline struggled against Bournemouth, conceding twice, and a more potent Liverpool attack will present an even greater challenge. With injuries to Nathan Patterson and uncertainty over Vitalii Mykolenko’s availability, Everton’s flanks could be exposed—something Salah thrives on.

Historically, Salah has enjoyed facing Everton, scoring five times in his last six Merseyside derbies. Given his ability to exploit defensive lapses, he is well-positioned to break the deadlock in this encounter. With Liverpool likely to dominate possession and create openings, Salah should have the opportunity to strike first.

Over 3.5 Cards in Total

Merseyside derbies are rarely quiet affairs, with physical battles and heated exchanges often defining these encounters. Both teams have players who are not shy about making challenges, increasing the likelihood of multiple bookings.

Everton, in particular, have had their fair share of disciplinary issues this season, while Liverpool are not immune to picking up cards in feisty fixtures. The nature of this rivalry means that both sides will be fully committed, with strong tackles and potential confrontations expected.

Given the history of this fixture and the style of play both teams employ, at least four yellow cards seem like a strong possibility. The referee will be keen to keep control, and this could result in several names being taken down over the course of the match. lower divisions often look to make an impression in these matches, which can lead to increased physicality. The referee is likely to be alert to late challenges and tactical fouls, making this market an attractive addition to the Bet Builder selection.
