Everton vs Liverpool Preview, Forecasts, and Top Wagers: Anticipated Clash between Rivals
On Wednesday evening, Everton and Liverpool lock horns at Goodison Park in a hotly-anticipated English Premier League encounter. The Toffees are in fine form, having clinched victories in their last two home matches, while Liverpool have drawn four of their last six trips to Goodison Park, securing only one victory.
Everton's recent upturn in form came following a 13-match winless streak in the league. After a narrow 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth, a 1-1 draw at Newcastle followed due to a late penalty. This result sparked an impressive resurgence, with Everton notching up two wins in their subsequent outings.
In their previous home match against Burnley, the Toffees rallied from a second-half disadvantage to emerge 1-0 victors. This was followed by a convincing 6-0 defeat at Chelsea, before securing a comfortable 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at home, registering a measly 0.34 xG in the process.
Liverpool have endured a somewhat disappointing run in recent matches, with just five victories in their last ten fixtures. A 4-3 FA Cup loss at Manchester United marked the beginning of their struggles, but they managed to bounce back with a 2-1 victory over Brighton and a 3-1 home win against Sheffield United.
Following a 2-2 draw at Manchester United in the league, Liverpool suffered a surprising 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at home, despite producing 2.81 xG, and have since registered two victories. Their most recent triumph was a 3-1 success at Fulham on Sunday.
Injuries to key players Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Conor Bradley, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Beto, mean that Jurgen Klopp and Sean Dyche will field depleted squads for this crucial clash.
The Toffees would be content with a point from this encounter, adopting a defensive and abrasive approach. In contrast, Liverpool must attack to keep their title challenge alive.
Historically, Liverpool has enjoyed a slight advantage over Everton, winning more encounters in the Premier League era. In recent years, Liverpool has dominated the fixture, while at Goodison Park, the two teams have played out several draws, including four 0-0 stalemates.
