Everton
In their recent outing, Everton secured a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This result extended their unbeaten run to three matches in the Premier League (1 win, 2 draws). The team has shown defensive solidity, conceding just two goals in their last three games. Everton currently sits in 12th place in the standings, and a positive result against Liverpool could see them climb into the top half.
Midfielder James Garner is suspended for this game.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Premier League (2 wins, 2 draws).
- Everton has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last six home games in this tournament.
- The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Everton's last 7 home matches in the Premier League.
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp's side claimed a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Anfield in their last match. This win marked Liverpool's third consecutive victory in the Premier League, with the team scoring a total of eight goals in these games. Liverpool is currently second in the league standings, just two points behind the leaders. A win against Everton would keep them in contention for the top spot.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Premier League (2 draws, 2 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Liverpool's last 7 away games in this tournament.

Everton vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
Everton has shown resilience at home, often frustrating higher-ranked opponents with their defensive approach. They have conceded only one goal in their last two home Premier League matches. However, Everton's attacking output has been limited, with just two goals scored in their last three games.
Liverpool's form has been impressive, particularly at home, where they have scored freely. However, their away performances have been less consistent, with a tendency to struggle against well-organized defenses. In 6 of Liverpool's last 7 away Premier League games, they have not scored more than one goal. Meanwhile, they have conceded a maximum of one goal in 7 of their last 10 away matches in this tournament.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
