Liverpool vs Everton Predictions

• Liverpool have won five of their eight Premier League games.
• Liverpool have won three of the last four Merseyside derbies.
• Everton have scored nine goals across their last four away games.

Liverpool looking to maintain Merseyside Derby dominance

The Premier League returns with a Merseyside Derby in the early kick off on Saturday after the international break.

Liverpool managed five Premier League wins in a row after opening the season with a draw against Chelsea, but picked up just one point from their final two games before the break.

Everton go into the game in good form after two wins in their last three league fixtures, having picked up just one point from their first five.

Everton have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s game, while Liverpool are without the suspended Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo remains a doubt after missing the last two games.

Clean sheets an issue for Liverpool

Liverpool have been perfect at home this season – winning all five of their games across all competitions. The Reds have also dominated this fixture for some time, with three wins in the last four Merseyside Derby games and they have only lost once to their city rivals since October 2013.

The hosts should be expected to win at Anfield on Saturday, but Everton can at least get on the scoresheet. Liverpool have conceded in three of their four home league games and the visitors have scored in each of their last four away fixtures across all competitions, hitting nine goals in total.

Salah the standout scorer option

A 3-1 win for Liverpool is the correct score prediction as they have scored exactly three goals in all four of their domestic home games, including three 3-1 victories,

Mohamed Salah is the obvious pick to score at anytime after his brace in the draw with Brighton last time out. The Egyptian will also be on penalty duties, so he appeals as a scorer bet even at a fairly short price.
