Liverpool vs. Everton game opens the EPL round 5 as the Merseyside derby kicks off for the 247th time. The fierce rivalry between the two sides has lasted for more than 100 years, and it’s no wonder that the league wanted to put it in the prime time.
The Reds are first in the standings, looking solid for the moment, though with a bit more luck than expected. On the other hand, Everton is very good, some might say above all expectations, due to their flying start.
All in all, this should bring fireworks, both regarding goals and cards, as well as other aspects. See more EPL odds here on this link.
Liverpool vs. Everton Preview
Liverpool
The Reds again struck in the stoppage time, beating Atletico Madrid this time, and posting another victory. It was 3-2 for Slot’s guys, who now have five wins in a row. Following back-to-back events in which we saw just one goal, Liverpool got back into its usual mode, presenting high efficiency.

After Palace in the Community Shield, Bournemouth, Newcastle in the Premier League, the game against Atletico Madrid also witnessed both teams netting and at least 4 goals.
That’s simply the way the Reds play, and we sincerely doubt that anything will change in this matter.
Everton
With Jack Grealish in the midfield, this team looks excellent. We knew that he might upgrade the Toffees, but for the moment, they look far better than expected. It seems that Grealish kick-started everything at Goodison and became the perfect fit for their game plan and everything else.
Jack Grealish in slo-mo.
Absolute cinema. 🔁

Following a poor preseason period and a loss in the opening EPL game, Everton posted three wins in a row, each netting at least twice, before playing 0-0 vs. Aston Villa.
Three clean sheets are not a surprise, but high-scoring performances are, yet that’s the Grealish effect. He really brought something new to the table, and for the moment, Everton uses that well.
Liverpool vs. Everton Head to Head
Liverpool has 100 wins, Everton 68, and 78 matches ended with a tie. The best scorer of all time is Ian Rush with 25 goals, while Neville Southall played in 41 Merseyside Derbies.
In last year’s games, the game at Goodison saw a 2-2 tie, and the one at Anfield, Liverpool’s 1-0 triumph.
Liverpool vs. Everton Cards and Corner’s Predictions
Since both teams play high-paced football, it’s quite possible to see at least one red card, and we would take that chance. It’s worth betting on that. Regarding the yellow cards, we wouldn’t meddle in that.
Meanwhile, corner kicks are highly volatile in cases like this one, and it’s not wise to place bets on them. Why? If the game gets too fast and quick, it often lacks corner kicks. Don’t ask us why, it’s simply like that.
For the moment, we would stick with the red card, because it has the best value, which is the profit/risk ratio. You don’t have to stake big to get solid money here.
Liverpool vs. Everton Predictions
Merseyside Derby comes at the best possible moment, because both teams are in excellent shape, which should deliver a good and exciting event. Enjoyable not just for the players and fans, but also for bettors. Our pick here would be over 1.5 in the second half, as we expect most of the action in that part of the event.
- Pick: Over 1.5 Second Half
