Liverpool vs Everton: Premier League betting odds, tips and predictions

The first Merseyside derby of the season kicks off Gameweek 5 of the Premier League as Liverpool host Everton at Anfield.

Champions Liverpool have dominated this fixture in recent years but could face a tougher test against their neighbours this time around after an encouraging start to the season in the blue half of Merseyside.

David Moyes' side are currently sixth in the table and will fancy themselves to cause issues for their rivals, who have needed late goals to win all four of their league games so far.

Liverpool have an exceptional record against their same-city rivals, losing only one of their last 29 meetings with them at Anfield, with that one defeat coming behind closed doors in 2020-21.

Since that 2-0 loss, Liverpool have won all four home games against the Toffees to nil and seem to have the mental edge when it comes to this fixture.

We reckon the Reds will secure the bragging rights once again.

With James Garner likely to remain at left-back for Everton, Tim Iroegbunam should keep his place in the centre of midfield.

The 22-year-old is emerging as a regular under David Moyes but his physical approach can sometimes see him overstep the mark, as shown by his three yellow cards this term.

Derbies are rife for a yellow card or two and we believe the former Aston Villa midfielder is the one to watch in the bookings market.

This game has not been known for its high-scoring encounters in recent years, but we believe the approach both sides have taken so far this season could result in plenty of goals.

Liverpool's star-studded side will look to play on the front foot as hosts, while Everton now have players who are well capable of getting at the Reds backline, such as Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye.

Backing three or more goals to be scored seems like a reasonable call for this one.

Liverpool fans have waited a long time to see Alexander Isak in a Liverpool shirt - but it will have been well worth the wait if he marks his first Premier League start with a goal.

The £125million man should quickly assume a role as the focal point of Liverpool's attack once he is up to speed and we're backing him to announce himself to the Anfield faithful in the perfect way on Saturday lunchtime.
