The first Merseyside derby of the season takes center stage this weekend, as Liverpool look for a victory that could take them to the top of the standings. Things are looking up for Everton, but they will need a season-best performance at Anfield to come away from this match with anything.
Before Betting On Liverpool vs Everton
The Merseyside derby is always a fixture on the Premier League schedule that stands out. Liverpool come into this fixture sitting fourth in the standings, but they will be in need of a response after going two league matches without a win. The Reds were held by Brighton in their most recent fixture before the international break.
Liverpool’s record against Everton is extremely dominant, as they have suffered just one defeat in the last 25 league meetings between the sides. That loss was suffered in February 2021 at Anfield. Everton’s poor record in this fixture is evident from the fact that they have landed just five wins from their previous 51 top-flight meetings.
Interestingly, this fixture is the most drawn match in English soccer history, with 69 of the 208 meetings ending level. Liverpool have picked up 81 wins, with the Toffees picking up 58 victories. The Reds have been excellent defensively in this fixture throughout history, as they have kept more clean sheets against Everton than they have against any other side in England.
These derbies are typically intense affairs, and that often sees the tensions on the pitch get the better of the players involved. No fixture in Premier League history has seen more red cards brandished than the Merseyside derby, with 22 overall being shown.
Liverpool vs Everton Offshore Odds & Pick
Liverpool’s excellent record in this fixture looks challenging to overlook, but Merseyside derbies are typically cagey affairs. Therefore, a Liverpool win with under 2.5 goals being scored could be a popular betting angle.
