Liverpool vs Everton Preview

Liverpool vs Everton

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Anfield

Date: 2nd December 2018

Kick-off time – 16:15 GMT

Liverpool suffered their 4th consecutive away loss in the Champions League when they were beaten 2-1 by PSG on Wednesday and they now turn their attention to the Premier League where they have been more efficient.

The Reds are yet to lose a league game this season and they have won 10 of their 13 league games in this campaign.

Liverpool have won all but one of their home league matches all season and that was against Manchester City.

This run of form has placed them just 2 points off the top of the Premier League table.

They have only dropped points against the top six teams in the Premier League and they will be looking to get yet another win when they welcome their neighbors to Anfield here.

Everton will look at Liverpool’s numbers in the league this season and know that they stand a small chance of breaking their Merseyside derby curse in this game.

It has been more than 17 games since the Toffees last defeated Liverpool and they have lost 3 of their last 4 visits to Anfield.

As a matter of fact, you would have to go back to 1999 to find the last time Everton defeated Liverpool at Anfield and with the form the Reds are in, it is difficult to see this Everton side upsetting the odds.

The Toffees have won just one away game all season, but they have won 5 of their last 7 league games, so they are not particularly in a bad run of form.

Having kept 10 clean sheets in their last 11 home games, Liverpool are going to look to inflict a first win in 7 on Marcos Silva’s men in this game.

Despite being a derby, bookmakers have priced Liverpool up as heavy odds-on favourites to get all three points while Everton are trading at long odds to cause an upset.

Over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on while Mohamed Salah is bookies favourite to score first.
