Looking at Liverpool vs Everton TV, Liverpool will be looking to rack up their 14th win of the season when they welcome rivals Everton to Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League ahead of a busy Christmas period and the Merseyside derby is sure to provide plenty of excitement for neutrals and fans alike.
Although there has just been one goal across the last three meetings between these sides, the form of these sides means our tipster is backing an open affair at Anfield this time around.
Liverpool vs Everton Prediction
Using bet365’s Bet Builder, our tipster has combined selections from the match to create an 8/1 (9.0) bet consisting of: Liverpool to win, Both Teams to Score, Under five cards, and Over nine corners.
Liverpool to win
Liverpool are heavy favourites to win this match and justifiably so, considering they have taken maximum points from 13 of their 14 Premier League games this season and have won their last 14 league games at Anfield.
As well, the Reds have won four of their last five home matches against Everton in all competitions, including last season when Divock Origi struck a late winner after a miscued shot from Virgil van Dijk.
Both Teams to Score
The Toffees have not scored at Anfield since losing there 2-1 in the FA Cup third round almost two years ago, but that could all change on Wednesday night.
Liverpool have conceded in each of their last 12 games in all competitions and have not managed a clean sheet in front of their own fans since the final day of last season, which will certainly give Everton a boost.
Despite struggling form-wise, Marco Silva’s side have netted in five of their last six Premier League games and in each of their last three away from Goodison Park.
Under Five Cards
The days of feisty Merseyside derbies appear to be firmly in the rear-view mirror with just four red cards having been shown in the 21 meetings during this decade – some way behind the 13 shown in the 22 matches between 2000 and 2009.
Even the amount of yellow cards has not been particularly high, with 15 being shown across the last five derbies and just one of the last eight seeing five cards or more.
Over Nine Corners
There has been no shortage of corners for these sides this season, with Everton taking 93 this season – the fourth-most in the league – at an average of over 6.5 per game.
The Reds sit just behind them on 88 which still comes in at over six per game, and with both attacks looking particularly potent, there is little to suggest either team will struggle on the corner count.
