Our predictions for Liverpool vs Everton
Match Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Everton
Liverpool's recent form has been nothing short of sensational, with four straight league wins, including tight victories against Burnley and Arsenal. They've shown they can grind out results and also put on a show, like in their 4-2 thrashing of Bournemouth.
Expect them to dominate possession and create numerous chances, but Everton won't make it easy for them. The Toffees have been solid at the back and can nick a goal on the break, which could make for a nervy finish.
Everton have been inconsistent, with two wins, a draw and a loss in their last four league outings. They've shown they can compete, like in their win against Wolves, but consistency is their Achilles' heel.
They'll likely sit deep and look to hit Liverpool on the counter, but they'll need to be clinical if they want to get anything from this game. It's going to be a tough ask, but they've got the players to cause an upset.
Form Guide & Team Overview

Everton
Everton have had a mixed bag of results recently, with a draw against Aston Villa, wins over Brighton and Wolves and a loss to Leeds. They've shown they can compete, as evidenced by their win against Wolves, but struggle to string together consistent performances.
This inconsistency could be their downfall against a rampant Liverpool side. They'll need to be at their best defensively and take any chances they get if they want to pull off a surprise.
