Liverpool vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-01 19:00.
[p]After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and suffering heartbreak in the Carabao Cup final, the international hiatus has offered Liverpool players, staff and fans a chance to get over those setbacks ahead of the season’s run-in. No doubt a grey cloud has been cast on what has otherwise been a great first campaign for Arne Slot, who must now focus solely on bringing a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title back to Anfield. [/p]
[p]The Reds are in a commanding position at the top of the Premier League standings in their efforts to realise that dream, having tasted defeat in just one league game this term, a tally only bettered by their UCL vanquishers Paris Saint-Germain across Europe’s top five divisions. Those in the Kop should be confident of that record being maintained against their oldest foes Everton here, considering that Liverpool have lost just one of the last 27 Merseyside derbies at Anfield (W16, D10). [/p]
[p]The last instalment of this rivalry ended 2-2 at Goodison Park thanks to James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equaliser, meaning that Everton could collect at least one point in both league meetings with Liverpool in a single season for the first time since 2020/21. Avoiding defeat has become a habit for the Toffees, who are now unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches (W4, D5), a run which has put to rest any possible concerns about re-entering the relegation scrap. [/p]
[p]The blue half of Merseyside has had to share the spoils in each of their last four games though, extending their league-high total of draws this season to 13. David Moyes might be content with a point here since he has lost on his last nine trips to Anfield, while his 19 victoryless visits there in the Premier League are the competition’s joint-most that a manager has registered against a single opponent away from home without a single triumph.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mohamed Salah scored and assisted in the reverse fixture, only adding to his confidence after finding the net three times across the last two derbies at Anfield. Watching him closely will likely be Everton defender Jake O’Brien, who could be a threat late on, since six of his last seven goals have come after half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Liverpool have scored at least twice in each of their last 15 domestic matches at Anfield. [/p]
