class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Toffees prolific on the road and Klopp's men still missing their key defensive players, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of goalmouth action
Liverpool will be desperate to make a statement when Everton visit Anfield for Saturday’s Premier League clash.
The Reds have lost three successive matches to slip down to sixth in the league, although they did secure an impressive 2-0 away Champions League victory over RB Leipzig on Tuesday.
Liverpool vs Everton Latest Odds
Unbeaten in their last 23 Merseyside derbies, they are 4/9 (1.44) favourites with bet365 to give themselves another lift with a much-needed victory here.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are just three points adrift of their neighbours with a game in hand and can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) to pull level by coming out on top at this ground for the first time since 1999.
Five of the last seven league meetings between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.
Liverpool vs Everton Team News
Naby Keita, Fabinho and James Milner all face a race against time to recover from injury for this game, while Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, and Diogo Jota are all ruled out.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be hoping to return after the hamstring injury he sustained in the FA Cup win over Tottenham was not as severe as first though, although Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Yerry Mina are definitely sidelined.
Liverpool vs Everton Preview
October’s reverse encounter at Goodison Park is one that will live in infamy in this corner of Merseyside, having seen Van Dijk ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a wild challenge from Jordan Pickford.
With Gomez and Matip also subsequently falling victim to long-term injury, Jurgen Klopp’s team has struggled all campaign to find a settled backline – conceding the same number of goals as 17th-placed Burnley and coming into this clash without a clean sheet in six league fixtures.
On target in all but one of their 12 away games this season and having found a way past a miserly Manchester City defence in Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat, the Toffees should cause plenty of problems for the hosts’ latest makeshift backline.
