Liverpool against Everton at Anfield. It doesn’t get much bigger than this. Liverpool are flying high after a strong start to the season, while Everton are still hunting for consistency. The Reds haven’t lost at home in 19 league matches, and Everton haven’t managed a win at Anfield since 2021. So, will it be business as usual for the champions, or can the Toffees spring a shock? Let’s break it down.
Liverpool head into this one juggling their squad, with a Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid coming up midweek. Jurgen Klopp’s side is almost at full strength, but there are a couple of niggles. Joe Gomez is still out, and Conor Bradley remains doubtful. Arne Slot has rotated midfield heavily so far, but you’d expect Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to start alongside Wirtz. Up front, Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo are nailed on, with Hugo Ekitike expected to lead the line again.
For Everton, Sean Dyche is keeping things tight defensively, and it shows in their recent results. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is available, which is a huge boost, while Dwight McNeil is pushing for a start after shaking off a knock. The midfield pairing of Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye looks set to anchor things. Defensively, Tarkowski and Branthwaite will have their hands full against Liverpool’s attack.
Likely Lineups
Liverpool: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike
Everton: Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Onana; McNeil, Doucoure, Harrison; Calvert-Lewin
This derby might not be the goal-fest some people expect. Everton love to sit deep away from home and frustrate bigger sides. Last season, 13 of their 17 away games as underdogs finished under 2.5 goals. That’s a serious trend.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have the firepower, but they’ve also looked a little toothless in some games. Against Burnley, they only won thanks to a late penalty. With Atletico Madrid on the horizon, we could see them conserve energy here.
Betting angles worth considering:
Liverpool should control the ball, create more chances, and eventually find a breakthrough. Everton will sit back and look for Calvert-Lewin on the counter, but it’s hard to see them breaking Liverpool’s defensive wall. This derby usually comes down to fine margins, and I don’t think this one will be any different.
Match Prediction: Liverpool to win. Bet with bet365.
Given Everton’s struggles to score at Anfield — and Liverpool’s tendency to keep things tight in this fixture — a narrow Reds win feels right.
Correct Score Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Everton. Bet with bet365.
History points to a cagey affair. Both meetings last season stayed under 2.5 goals, and Everton’s away record backs that up. Liverpool can score, no doubt, but Everton’s low-block setup is built to frustrate.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo that fits the way I see this derby shaping up:
Bet Builder Tip: Liverpool to Win, Under 3.5 Goals & Salah to Score Anytime.

Liverpool are strong favorites, especially at Anfield. Everton haven’t won here since 2021, and the Reds’ home record makes them tough to beat.
Most likely a low-scoring Liverpool win, something like 1-0 or 2-0.
Based on recent trends, under 2.5 goals is the safer call. Everton’s away games as underdogs usually finish tight.
It won’t be easy. Liverpool have kept Everton scoreless in their last four league meetings at Anfield.
