Match predictions, team updates, betting advice, odds, and custom bet creation for Liverpool versus Everton encounter
Saturday, September 20, will see a highly-anticipated clash between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield. The current Premier League champions aim to extend their winning start to the season, while Everton, who have improved their attacking unit, will be eager to cause an upset.
The match, scheduled for a 12:30pm kick-off, is expected to be a compelling encounter, with some bookmakers predicting Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals. This forecast is backed by Liverpool's impressive form at home, having won eight of their last nine home league and cup matches against Everton.
Jack Grealish, August's Premier League Player of the Month, has contributed four assists in 287 minutes for Everton and is expected to give another inspirational performance. On the other side, Liverpool's predicted line-up includes the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Cody Gakpo, who will pose a significant threat to Everton's defense.
Everton have shown resilience in their defense, having conceded only one first-half goal in their last seven matches. James Garner, who is predicted to be shown the first card in the match, will likely defend against Liverpool's wingers, taking on one of Liverpool's elite wingers in defense.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's defense has looked less secure this term, having conceded a goal to Burnley last weekend despite having 27 shots compared to Burnley's three. Idrissa Gueye, who had three shots in last month's win at Wolves and another two against Aston Villa last weekend, will be a key player for Everton in their attacking efforts.
The Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1. However, Liverpool may take time to hit their stride after their midweek battle with Atletico Madrid, where they secured a thrilling 3-2 victory, with Virgil van Dijk scoring the winning goal in the 92nd minute.
Ryan Gravenberch has been cautious in recent Premier League games, receiving three yellow cards and one red in his last four appearances. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is predicted to commit over 1.5 fouls in the match, adding another layer of intensity to the already heated derby.
Alexander Isak made his Liverpool debut against Atletico Madrid, but it remains to be seen whether he will feature in this crucial derby. The Premier League encounter between Liverpool and Everton promises to be an exciting clash, with both teams determined to secure a valuable three points.
