Liverpool vs Everton 2025/26 Premier League Bet Builder & Predictions
Liverpool vs Everton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon sets the stage for a high-stakes Premier League clash between two of the top teams this season. Our football betting expert anticipates a competitive match with a Liverpool win, over 2.5 goals, and both teams to score.
Team News and Context
Liverpool enters the fixture riding a wave of momentum with four consecutive Premier League wins. Recent performances highlight their attacking prowess, having scored nine goals in their opening four league matches. However, they have shown some defensive vulnerabilities, conceding four goals in this period. The Reds have demonstrated resilience, securing late goals to win matches.
There are some injury concerns for Liverpool with Alexis Mac Allister nursing a knock, while Curtis Jones and Stefan Bajcetic are also doubts for the derby. New signing Alexander Isak is still building up his fitness and may only feature from the bench.
Everton, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to their campaign with two wins, a draw, and a loss in their opening four Premier League fixtures. They have shown they can be potent in attack, as seen in their 3-2 victory away at Wolves, but have also struggled for consistency.
The Toffees have some significant injury worries of their own. Key central defender Jarrad Branthwaite is out with a hamstring injury, and left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko is a doubt with a muscle problem. Iliman Ndiaye, who picked up a knock, is expected to be fit to play.
Recent Form and Last Weekend Recap
Liverpool have displayed a strong attacking threat in all their games so far, including a convincing 4-2 home victory against Bournemouth and a hard-fought 3-2 away win against Newcastle. Their latest result was a narrow 1-0 victory away to Burnley, secured by a late Mohamed Salah penalty. This ability to secure victories even when not at their best will be a significant asset at Anfield.
Everton’s recent form has been less consistent. They started their season with a 1-0 defeat to Leeds but followed it up with impressive wins against Brighton and Wolves. Their most recent outing was a goalless draw at home to Aston Villa, where they created numerous chances but failed to convert. Their ability to find the net will be crucial if they are to get a result at Anfield.
Head to Head and Current Standings
Historically, the Merseyside derby has been a fiercely contested fixture. In the last 39 meetings, Liverpool have a clear advantage with 21 wins to Everton’s 3, with 15 matches ending in a draw.
Recent encounters have also favoured the Reds, who have won three of the last six, with two draws and one Everton victory. The last meeting at Anfield in April 2025 saw Liverpool emerge with a 1-0 victory.
This season, Liverpool sit top of the Premier League table with a perfect record of 12 points from four games. Everton are in a respectable sixth position with seven points from their opening four matches.
Key Players to Watch
For Liverpool, the attacking duo of Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitiké have been in fine form, both netting two league goals each. The creativity of Cody Gakpo, who has a goal and two assists to his name, will also be crucial for the home side.
Everton will be looking to Iliman Ndiaye, who has scored two goals this season, to provide a threat up front. The creative spark will likely come from Jack Grealish, who leads the team with four assists. In midfield, the energy and tenacity of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be vital in breaking up Liverpool’s attacks.
