Comments and predictions for Everton vs Liverpool: Unbalanced derby

Latest Everton vs Liverpool team information

Armando Broja made his Everton debut in Wednesday's win, making his mark with two assists despite Jack Harrison missing both chances. Broja's return puts more pressure on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has regained his place from Beto and had a hand in two own goals from Craig Dawson. Youssef Chermiti, who needs a week or two to recover, adds to Everton's attacking options. James Garner and Tim Iroegbuman are also working to recover for a busy winter schedule.

For Liverpool, Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley remain absent, leaving Joe Gomez with a defensive problem. Trent Alexander-Arnold's return could see Jarrell Quansah partner Virgil van Dijk. Goalkeeper Alisson is close to returning from injury, but Kelleher's costly mistake could hasten his return. Alexis Mac Allister is suspended following his yellow card against Newcastle. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are also doubtful for this crunch game.

All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, who overtook Erling Haaland as the Premier League's top scorer with a brace in midweek. He also surpassed Wayne Rooney for goals and assists (37) when he played a part in Curtis Jones' equaliser.

Latest Everton vs Liverpool football prediction

Apart from the final home game against Southampton in May, the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park is the most emotional game of the year for Everton fans. After a run of poor results, Everton secured a crucial 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, ending a run of five games without a win and four games without a goal, giving manager Sean Dyche a boost. The result lifted Everton up to 15th place, five points clear of the relegation zone, with a tough schedule ahead.

Everton will be hoping to make it two successive Premier League wins for the first time since April, when they beat Liverpool at Goodison. However, the task is difficult as the team has not won back-to-back derbies since 1984-85. Everton also have a poor record against strong teams, winning just four of their 47 games against teams at the top of the table, and winning just six of their 54 games against Liverpool since 2000.

Liverpool's defeat in April ended a 12-game unbeaten run at Goodison. However, new manager Arne Slot does not need to improve too much on Jurgen Klopp's away record, who has won just two of his eight trips there. Liverpool are also unbeaten in eight games as of 12.30pm on Saturday, winning six. A win over Everton would put the pressure on the chasing pack, but dropping points could open the door for their rivals.

Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Newcastle in midweek highlighted their defensive problems. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher's error cost them two points and it was the fourth consecutive time they have conceded at least two goals away from home, despite still having the best defensive record in the league. Mohamed Salah remains their best hope, but improvement is needed to maintain their form at this crucial stage.
