Liverpool vs Everton Prediction for the match
England
Anfield
Everton on the other hand has witnessed a disastrous season. They find themselves in a relegation fight languishing way down in the table at 18th. Everton under their former manager Frank Lampard looked certain to be heading towards relegation but the appointment of Sean Dyche seemed to have brought a fresh wave of optimism around Goodison. The former Burnley manager’s reign couldn’t have started in a better way as he beat the table toppers Arsenal. Arsenal’s loss at the Goodison was Everton’s first win in their last 8 Premier League games. The head-to-head record between the two Merseyside rivals is quite one-sided with Liverpool winning 28 and Everton winning just 9 out of the last 64 games they have played with 27 games ending in draws. Liverpool has a slightly better record at home in comparison to their disastrous away form. The Reds have not beaten in their last 8 home games in all competitions. Everton on the flipside has not won any of their 8 away games.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Draw
Though the bookmakers have favoured Liverpool as odds favourites to beat Everton, we predict this game to end in a draw. Liverpool is currently in a shocking run of form having not won a single game in their last four in which they have lost three. Everton themselves are not the best of teams away from home having won just 1 in 8 but Dyche’s men will find themselves having a smidgen more confidence after beating Arsenal. Also, the most common full-time result when these two sides meet at Anfield is 1-1 with 7 games ending in this same scoreline.
