Liverpool vs Everton Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Reds to keep Toffees at bay

Liverpool host Everton in the first Merseyside derby of the season at Anfield on Saturday (12:30 BST, TNT Sports 1), and it promises to be a feisty test for both sides. The Reds arrive full of momentum after a dramatic 3-2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, while Everton have quietly made a strong start to the season under David Moyes.

When the teams last met, Liverpool came out on top in a 1-0 victory, the winner scored by the late Diogo Jota. Read on for my Liverpool vs Everton Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips...

Team News

Liverpool have no fresh absentees reported after midweek; Alexander Isak could start or be used off the bench, depending on fitness and Arne Slot’s rotation plans.

Prior to the midweek game, Slot revealed Curtis Jones had trained with the team, but the Champions League fixture came too soon. He could return on Saturday.

For Everton, Jack Grealish has settled quickly since joining on loan and will be a focal point.

Jarrad Branthwaite remains doubtful with a hamstring injury, while Moyes will hope to have Vitalii Mykolenko back after he picked up a knock on international duty.

Match Result - Liverpool

Liverpool can maintain their perfect start in what should be a low-scoring affair. The Reds are expected to dominate possession and territory, limiting Everton’s chances.

Even with Grealish’s creativity, Liverpool’s defensive organisation and attacking quality should be enough to edge this fixture.

Premier League Odds

Both Teams to Score - No

The Reds have won the last four Anfield derbies to nil and kept clean sheets in their last two Premier League games, against Arsenal and Burnley.

Player Shown Any Card - Tim Iroegbunam (EVE)

Tim Iroegbunam has already been booked three times in four league games this season.

Against Liverpool’s quick transitions and technically gifted midfielders, he could easily be drawn into difficult challenges or rash tackles, particularly amid the derby intensity.

Liverpool vs Everton Odds

Liverpool have left it late, but have won all four Premier League games so far this campaign. They are priced 4/9 to continue their perfect start, implying a 69.2% chance of success. Everton are 6/1 (14.3%) to cause an upset.

The draw is 18/5, both teams to score is 4/5, and over 2.5 goals is 8/13.

Mohamed Salah, who has scored seven goals in his last 10 matches against the Toffees, is 21/20 to score anytime.

Player Shown Any Card - Dominik Szoboszlai (LIV)

Dominik Szoboszlai is likely to line up at the right-back position again, as he has done in the previous three Premier League matches..

He will face Grealish, who has drawn bookings for his opposing full-back in two of his three league starts (the exception being Wolves, whose right-back still committed three fouls).
