3rd September 2022 – 13:30, Goodison Park, Liverpool
Everton and Liverpool will open the Premier League 6th round action with the Merseyside Derby on Saturday afternoon. The home side still searches for the first win in the season, while the visitors haven’t been very impressive so far.
Everton Preview & Team News
Everton is still seeking their first league win of the season, but Frank Lampard has made them much harder to beat, with draws in their last three Premier League outings. The Toffees boss has concentrated on building a British spine to his side, and the shrewd additions of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski have significantly shored up a defense that was so leaky the last term. However, they are still close to the danger zone, and Everton needs to start winning to reach the safe mid-table position. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Knee Injury), Yerry Mina (Ankle Injury), and Ben Godfrey (Fibula Fracture) are unavailable for Everton boss Frank Lampard.
Liverpool Preview & Team News
The manner of those last two wins couldn’t have been more different, with Jurgen Klopp’s men crushing Bournemouth 9-0 before coming from behind to edge out Newcastle 2-1 with a goal in the dying seconds of stoppage time. It’s clear Liverpool still isn’t at the top of their game, especially in defense, but that’s perhaps understandable given the number of injuries they have suffered to some key players. The Reds need more stability in their game, and they are already seven points behind the top-placed Arsenal. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Thiago (Hamstring Injury) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Hamstring Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It wasn’t easy for Liverpool on the previous five occasions at Goodison Park since they booked only one victory in that period. Although the Reds might win all three points in this one, we don’t believe Everton will lose by more than a goal.
Goals Market Prediction
Although their last two games with Everton as hosts went over a 3.5 margin, those were the only two matches out of the previous eight with more than two goals. Nevertheless, we think both teams will find the back of the opponent’s net this time.
