Liverpool vs Everton Predictions

• Both teams have scored in each of Everton’s last six Premier League games.
• Liverpool have conceded in six of their last seven home league games.
• Mohamed Salah has 13 goal contributions in his last eight Premier League appearances.

Reds out to restore confidence

Liverpool were this year’s choice for the almost-annual talk of a potential quadruple under two months ago, but in that time they have seen themselves eliminated from the FA Cup and the Champions League, swiftly followed by a shock defeat at Wembley in the League Cup final before the international break.

However, the break should have given them a bit of time to gather their thoughts, and triumph in the Merseyside derby would provide them a welcome boost in confidence as they canter towards the Premier League title.

Arne Slot’s side’s only league defeat of the season came at home to surprise package Nottingham Forest back in September and they should be able to get a derby day win on Wednesday, but the improving Everton could cause the Reds some trouble at Anfield.

Resurgent Toffees could cause some problems

The Toffees have moved well clear of the relegation zone since the return of David Moyes and head to the red side of the city unbeaten in six matches, which includes a 2-2 draw in Goodison Park’s final Merseyside derby.

They have scored in all six of these games, and should find the net against a Reds outfit that have conceded in six of their last seven home league games, making both teams to score an attractive option.

Salah can fire hosts to derby day victory

While Everton may get on the scoresheet, a result is unlikely against a Liverpool side desperate to restore confidence. They have scored exactly twice in eight of their last 11 home league games, three of which have ended 2-1, and Everton have scored exactly once in their last three matches, making a 2-1 correct score prediction stand out.

Mohamed Salah leads the way in both goals and assists in the Premier League and he should add to his tally against an Everton side he has scored eight times against. The Egyptian has scored nine goals and assisted four in his last eight league assignments and has only failed to find the net in one of those, so he’s an obvious choice for goalscorer punters.
