The Toffees’ bright start offers hope of springing a surprise at Anfield.
Anfield hosts the 247th Merseyside derby on Saturday as Liverpool and Everton go head-to-head for three points and local bragging rights.have made a perfect start to the new campaign but have required goals in the 83rd minute or later to secure each of their five victories in all competitions.
Fortune was on their side once more midweek as Virgil van Dijk’s stoppage-time header guided them to antriumph. They have been below their best for much of the season but continue to find a way to win regardless. Liverpool have dominated this fixture since the turn of the 21st century and have only lost once on home soil toDespite their dismal record against Liverpool, Everton will harbour hopes of grabbing a point after a bright start to the campaign. David Moyes has led his side to sixth, picking up two wins and a draw in four outings, and they have a committed and well-organised defence that is now complemented by an improved attack led by on-loan Jack Grealish.Canadaby how fit the Swede was considering he missed pre-season, but there are no guarantees that he will start again this weekend. Hugo Ekitiké could be restored to the starting lineup in place of Isak as Liverpool ease their record signing into action, while Alexis Mac Allister and Milos Kerkez could return to the XI having dropped to the bench against Atléi. Jeremie Frimpong lasted just an hour on his first start back from injury, with Slot’s decision to withdraw the Dutchman perhaps coming with one eye on the derby. Local lad Curtis Jones has missed the last two Premier League matches but Slot has confirmed he’s back in contention.Everton Team NewsEverton were without defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko in the goalless draw with Aston Villa last weekend, with Moyes confirming they could be involved in some capacity at Anfield. He also referenced several “knocks within the camp” but didn’t divulge any specifics. Michael Keane will continue to deputise for Branthwaite should he miss out, while orthodox midfielder James Garner was used at left back last time out in place of Mykolenko. Everton are unlikely to make many changes to the team that drew with the Villans and Moyes will lean on the creativity of Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at Anfield.Liverpool vs. Everton Score Prediction Despite regular defeats at Anfield, Everton always make life difficult for Liverpool. They will undoubtedly sit in deep against the champions and prioritise a defensive-minded approach, looking to frustrate the attacking might of their hosts and hit them on the counter. Liverpool have only managed two goals or fewer in each of their last six home Merseyside derbies and are unlikely to blow Everton away. It will be a cagey affair, but the Reds, especially with their penchant for scoring late goals, will be confident of victory.Ewan Ross-Murray is a Sports Illustrated Soccer freelance writer who focuses primarily on the Premier League.
