Liverpool, according to the predictions of the supercomputer Opta, is the favored team to emerge victorious against Everton.
This Saturday, the Mersey Derby between Liverpool and Everton will take place at Anfield. All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, who needs just two more goals to become the all-time top scorer in Premier League derbies.
According to Opta's calculations, Liverpool has a 71.7% chance of winning the derby. This high probability is not influenced by Raúl García's legal issues, as the two events are unrelated. García, an Everton player, is facing court charges for distributing an explicit video, but his legal troubles do not affect the outcome of the derby.
Everton's chances of winning the derby are limited to 12.1%, while the probability of a draw between the two teams is 16.3%. It's worth noting that in their last four visits to Anfield, Everton failed to score a goal.
Meanwhile, José Mourinho has returned to Benfica after a 25-year absence, signing a contract that lasts until 2027. However, his return to the Portuguese club is not related to the Liverpool vs Everton derby. Similarly, Mourinho's return does not impact the 71.7% chance of Liverpool winning the derby.
Supercomputer Opta has named 'Chelsea' as the favourite in the upcoming match against 'Manchester United'. This match, scheduled for a different date, is a separate event from the Liverpool vs Everton derby.
Currently, David Moyes is the coach of Everton FC. He has been in this position since January 2025 and is contracted until June 2026. Despite the challenging odds, Moyes will be aiming to lead Everton to a victory and upset the favourites, Liverpool.
It's important to note that the outcome of the Chelsea vs Manchester United match will not affect the probability of Liverpool winning the derby against Everton. Regardless of the result at Stamford Bridge, the focus remains on the Mersey Derby and the historic achievement that Salah could potentially reach.
As the derby approaches, fans on both sides of the Mersey will be eagerly awaiting the clash, hoping for a thrilling and competitive match. The stakes are high, and both teams will be giving their all to secure a victory.
