Everton vs Liverpool preview and prediction: An uneven derby.

Latest Everton vs Liverpool team news

Armando Broja made his Everton debut in Wednesday's win, making an impact with two assists despite both chances being missed by Jack Harrison. Broja's return puts added pressure on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has reclaimed his place from Beto and contributed to Craig Dawson's two own goals. Youssef Chermiti needs another week or two to recover, adding further attacking options for Everton. James Garner and Tim Iroegbuman are also working to recover from the demanding winter fixture schedule.

For Liverpool, Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley remain absent, leaving Joe Gomez in trouble in defense. Trent Alexander-Arnold's return could see Jarrell Quansah partner Virgil van Dijk. Goalkeeper Alisson is close to returning from injury, but Kelleher's serious mistake could hasten his recovery. Alexis Mac Allister is suspended after receiving a yellow card against Newcastle. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are also unlikely to feature in this crucial match.

The focus will still be on Mohamed Salah, who just overtook Erling Haaland to top the Premier League scoring list with a brace midweek. He also surpassed Wayne Rooney in the number of games with goals and assists (37) when he participated in Curtis Jones' equalizer.

Latest Everton vs Liverpool football match prediction

Aside from their final home game against Southampton in May, the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park was the most emotional match of the year for Everton fans. After a run of poor results, Everton secured a crucial 4-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, ending a five-game winless streak and four games without scoring, giving manager Sean Dyche a boost. This result lifted Everton to 15th place, five points clear of the relegation zone, ahead of a tough fixture list.

Everton are hoping for a second consecutive Premier League victory for the first time since April, when they beat Liverpool at Goodison Park. However, this is a difficult task as the team hasn't won two consecutive derby matches since the 1984-85 season. Everton also have a poor record against top teams, winning only four of their 47 games against top teams, and notably only six wins in 54 encounters with Liverpool since 2000.

For Liverpool, the April defeat ended a 12-match unbeaten run at Goodison Park. However, new manager Arne Slot doesn't need to significantly improve Jurgen Klopp's away record, who has won only two of his eight visits there. Liverpool are also unbeaten in eight games played at 12:30 pm on Saturdays, winning six. A win against Everton would put pressure on the chasing pack, but dropping points could open opportunities for their rivals.

The 3-3 draw with Newcastle midweek highlighted problems in Liverpool's defense. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher's mistake cost the team two points, and this was the fourth consecutive time they conceded at least two goals away from home, despite still holding the league's best defensive record. Mohamed Salah remains their biggest hope, but the team needs to improve to maintain their form during this crucial period.
