The form book can often go out of the window in passionate fixtures such as derbies, with both Everton and Liverpool battling for a European finish come to the end of the current Premier League season.

Match Preview

Jurgen Klopp’s men find themselves four points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United, but the Red Devils have two games in hand, meaning that the hosts have no real option but to keep winning to up the pressure on their rivals.

- Leicester 3-1 Liverpool

- Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal

- Liverpool 2-1 Burnley

- Man City 1-1 Liverpool

Liverpool have been sharp in front of goal and create a lot of opportunities for themselves under Klopp’s adventurous style of play, but a failure to keep a clean sheet during their last four top-flight games shows vulnerability.

Everton, meanwhile, have kept four clean sheets in their last five Premier League matches, but three of them came at Goodison Park. The Toffees last tough away game saw them lose narrowly 3-2 to Tottenham.

- Everton 2-0 Sunderland

- Tottenham 3-2 Everton

- Everton 3-0 West Brom

- Everton 4-0 Hull City

Liverpool vs Everton Prediction and Betting Advice

Everton have scored seven goals in their last two competitive games but will have to try and continue their good form without Seamus Coleman, who suffered a terrible broken leg on international duty. Liverpool could be without Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino after a midweek Brazil match.

Liverpool have been putting together some great results of late and remain in the hunt for European football, but their back four has let them down at times, leaving it likely that Everton can do some damage on the weekend.
