Everton vs Liverpool Preview – Prediction, how to watch & potential line-ups | OneFootball

Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at Goodison Park as Everton and Liverpool go head-to-head in the 292nd Merseyside derby.

Both last season’s contests between long-standing rivals produced one-way traffic, with the Reds racking up a pair of multi-goal margin victories.

Nothing should change this time around. Coming into this encounter, Everton have strung together a hat-trick of 1-1 draws following a two-game losing start to the season.

Still waiting for his first Premier League win of the season, manager Frank Lampard has come under heavy scrutiny and could be facing his final days at the helm.

Liverpool’s potential success in the weekend showdown could spell the end for the Englishman’s future on Merseyside.

Though Lampard remains hopeful that the hosting rights could save him on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp’s men head into proceedings inspired by a sensational come-from-behind midweek win over Newcastle United.

Fabio Carvalho scored with the last kick of the game to complete the Reds’ morale-boosting 2-1 home victory over the Magpies, making it two league wins in a row for Liverpool.

A week ago, Klopp’s side humbled promoted Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield to register their first Premier League triumph in 2022/23, arresting a three-match winless start to the new league campaign (D2, L1).

Match Preview

Everton

Things are looking nasty from the Toffees’ point of view, as they’ve only won one of their last 23 Premier League meetings with Liverpool (D12, L10).

Moreover, Lampard has lost all four of his managerial clashes against Klopp in England’s top-flight, with his sides conceding at least twice in each reverse.

The one thing that could bring smiles to the home side’s faces is that Lampard’s men have averaged five shots on target per match across the opening five Everton fixtures in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool

Following an impressive run of seven wins from the final eight Liverpool fixtures on the road last season, Klopp’s lads have gone winless in both top-flight away outings this term (D1, L1).

It’s been over a decade since Liverpool last failed to win any of their first three Premier League travels, and Mohamed Salah could be the man to make sure it stays that way.

Despite drawing a blank in his last two league appearances, the Egyptian forward has netted three of his four Premier League goals against Everton at Goodison.

Everton vs Liverpool Prediction

Despite Liverpool’s topsy-turvy start to the season, there’s a substantial gulf in quality between the two sides that should ultimately make the difference at Goodison.

We back the Reds to claim another victory and continue building their way to the top of the Premier League table.
