85/1 Ultimate Bet Builder tip for Liverpool vs Everton

Liverpool and Everton meet at Anfield on Wednesday for the second Merseyside Derby of the season after a 1-1 draw at Goodison in February.

The hosts are looking to bounce back after a Champions League exit and a cup final defeat but a game against their in-form local rivals looks a tough assignment for the runaway league leaders, as Everton are unbeaten in six across all competitions and they haven’t been beaten in the league since mid January.

We’ve got the game covered in our dedicated Match Predictions section and our expert thinks Everton’s unbeaten run could be coming to an end, but I’ve focused on the player markets rather than the result for this 85/1 Ultimate Bet Builder tip.

Liverpool vs Everton Ultimate Bet Builder

Mohamed Salah To Score Anytime

Mohamed Salah leads the way in both goals and assists in the Premier League this season and has scored eight goals against Everton. He has nine goals and four assists in his last eight Premier League appearances.

Idrissa Gueye To Be Shown A Card

There were six yellow cards dished out when these sides met in the reverse fixture, three for each team, during the game and then two sendings off after the final whistle. This meeting may not be quite as fiery but bookings for both teams remains a distinct possibility and from an Everton perspective Idrissa Gueye stands out. The Senegal international has six yellow cards in 28 league games this season, including one in the reverse fixture, and is averaging 1.5 fouls per-game.

Alexis Mac Allister To Be Show A Card

The value in the cards market is with the Liverpool players and Alexis Mac Allister is a decent contender. The Argentina midfielder has six yellow cards in 28 league games, and 11 bookings in total across all competitions, and he averages a hefty 1.9 fouls per-game in this competition.

Beto To Have 2+ Shots On Target

Everton forward Beto is averaging 1.5 shots per-game in the Premier League and just over half of them are recorded as on target, while he sees two thirds either on target or blocked. Beto has had at least three shots in five of his last six league games and at least two in each of his last seven, so he looks overpriced at 3/1 to test the keeper at least twice at Anfield.
