Everton vs Liverpool Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Arne Slot eyes a big victory in the upcoming Merseyside derby.

Amid the maritime charm and cultural brilliance of Liverpool, a city where history, music, and passion converge, the opening match in Matchday 15 of the Premier League takes us to Goodison Park where Everton are set to lock horns against arch-rivals Liverpool.

The Toffees currently find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 15th in the Premier League standings, just five points above the drop zone. They are staring at the possibility of relegation and will need a dramatic turnaround to secure a place in the top half by the end of the season. Their recent form has been deeply concerning, with a series of disappointing results.

They recently suffered a humiliation at the hands of Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United. While Everton’s struggles have been evident in their winless run, they have got things back on track with a 4-0 win over Wolves. If they are to avoid relegation, they will need to build on the positive result from their last outing. But, the game against the Reds won’t be easy.

Liverpool are currently on a determined mission to clinch the Premier League title, and their form suggests they are well on their way to achieving it. With 11 victories from the 14 matches they have played so far, they have been in sublime form. Their most recent triumph came in a dominant 2-0 victory over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City but they did drop points against Newcastle away from home (3-3).

As they prepare to face Everton in their next fixture, Liverpool will be eager to return to winning ways. The team is aware that the unpredictability of the Premier League means that on any given day, any team has the potential to upset the odds, and they are wise to approach the match with the necessary caution.

Players to watch out for:

Jesper Lindstrom (Everton)

Jesper Lindstrom, the 24-year-old Danish prodigy from Taastrup, has honed his skills with Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli, and is currently on loan at Everton. Having earned 16 caps for the Denmark national team, Lindstrom marked his debut goal in a friendly against Serbia in Copenhagen.

His impressive rise saw him named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season for the 2021-22 campaign. Known for his technical ability and versatility, Lindstrom holds great promise for the Toffees, and should he make a permanent move after his loan spell, he could become a key asset for the club’s future ambitions.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Salah might have turned 32 but he still remains a mainstay at Liverpool. He has 15 goals and 12 assists this season and given the kind of form he has been in, the Toffees will surely find it difficult to stop the Egyptian international in his tracks.
