Everton Vs Liverpool Preview

Goodison Park Farewell

Everton welcome their neighbours to Goodison Park for the very last time on Wednesday in what will be an emotional occasion in L4.

The Toffees have enjoyed some memorable victories against the rivals from down the road over the years. However, one more in the rearranged fixture would be one of the sweetest of the lot.

Next season, David Moyes’ side will be moving to their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock. Whether they will still be a Premier League side in August 2025 remains to be seen.

With that said, the Blues are a healthy nine points above the drop zone with this fixture to navigate as well. Despite being dumped out of the FA Cup on Saturday, Moyes has really steadied the ship in recent weeks.

Victories over Tottenham, Brighton and Leicester have perfectly primed the Toffees ahead of the visit from their closest rivals.

Tomorrow. Derby day. 🔵

Liverpool’s Last Goodison Park Visit

As far as the Merseyside Derby goes, the final chapter at Goodison Park is one of the most vital in Liverpool’s recent history. Victory will see the Reds open up a nine-point lead at the top of the table.

If that was to materialise, the Reds would have to endure a monumental screw up not to go on and win the title. From Arne Slot’s perspective, he’ll earn legendary status if his side were crowned champions.

However, the Dutchman will need to remind his troops a lot of hard work is still required. Especially after suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to Plymouth on Sunday. That FA Cup upset rules out any quadruple hopes.

In some respects, that loss will at least give the bulk of the Reds side extra time to recover from fatigue. The EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League are still huge priorities.

Ahead of Wednesday’s clash, the best football betting sites in the UK price Liverpool as the 5/11 favourites. Everton are 7/1 with the draw 15/4.

Everton Vs Liverpool Team News

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti are all missing for Everton. Vitalii Mykolenko is also rated 50/50 after missing the Bournemouth defeat.

Dwight McNeil will also be absent after undergoing surgery a few weeks back. Jack Harrison could make the starting XI after impressing against the Cherries.

Up top, Beto is expected to lead the line. The Guinea-Bissau international netted twice in the 4-0 romp over Leicester in the last Premier League outing.

Meanwhile, Liverpool probably won’t be able to call upon Trent Alexander-Arnold who isn’t quite ready for the rigours of the Merseyside Derby.

Arne Slot will make plenty of changes after rotating his XI on Sunday. Expect the likes of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo all to return.

Diogo Jota will likely start on the bench. Harvey Elliot – who gave away the penalty on Sunday – is also set to drop out of the team.

Everton Vs Liverpool Prediction

It goes without saying just how much Everton would love to record one last Goodison Park win over their bitter rivals. Especially if it starts to derail their title push.

However, a fairly well rested plethora of Reds stars will be in no mood to let emotions ruin their task of obtaining a vital three points in L4. Therefore, we are backing an away victory on Wednesday.

Prediction: Everton 1-2 Liverpool
