Liverpool FC vs Everton FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Gameweek four of the Premier League 2025/26 opens up with a Merseyside derby at Anfield, pitting hosts Liverpool against Everton in what promises to be a cagey affair given how competitive the visitors were last season in the fixture.  Both sides had to grind it out in their last outings—while the hosts snatched all three points, the visitors were left frustrated with only a goalless draw. 

Current Standings: Liverpool continue to hold on to the top spot in the league standings with 12 points from four games while Everton lie five places below at the sixth position with 7 points. 

Head-to-Head Record: As one would expect, Liverpool holds the edge in this derby with a win-loss record of 29-11 in 66 matches. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Liverpool FC Preview

It hasn’t been the ideal start Slot might have envisioned, as Liverpool have had to dig deep in every outing so far, relying on late winners in all four games. Yet, what counts is that they’ve maintained a perfect record, with the latest being a hard-fought 1-0 win over newly promoted Burnley. 

Despite racking up 27 shots, it took Salah’s calmly converted penalty in the 95th minute to finally break the Clarets’ resistance, who were down to ten men and keep the Reds’ momentum intact.

Stats that matter

1. The Reds had 14.8% shooting accuracy versus Burnley, their lowest since March 2024 where they have attempted at least 10 shots.
2. Salah’s late strike not only sealed the win but also etched a record, making Liverpool the first Premier League side to claim four straight victories with goals scored in the final 10 minutes or beyond.
3. Salah has eight goal contributions ( 6 goals & 2 assists) from his last eight Merseyside derbies. 

Team News 

This weekend could finally mark the Premier League debut of Liverpool’s marquee signing Alexander Isak, while all eyes will also be on whether Milos Kerkez retains his place after being taken off early last time out—if not, the ever-reliable Andrew Robertson is set to step in.

Liverpool Probable XI - Alisson (GK);  Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez/Robertson (Defenders); Ryan Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Writz ( Midfielders); Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitiké/Alexander Isak (Forwards). 

Everton FC Preview

Elsewhere, Everton have responded well to their shock opening-day defeat to Leeds by putting together a three-game unbeaten run. Their most recent outing was a goalless draw with Aston Villa, a result many might have expected, though the Toffees were clearly the stronger side—racking up 20 shots and an xG of 2.12. 

That ineffectiveness up front will worry manager  Moyes, as chances will be far harder to come by against Liverpool, making efficiency in front of goal absolutely vital on Saturday.

Stats that matter 

1. Once again, Jack Grealish stole the spotlight for the Toffees against Villa, carving out five key chances. He now sits third in the league for most chances created this season, with 10 to his name.
2. Everton have gone unbeaten in 8 of their last 9 matches across all competitions while winning 2 of their last 3 away matches in the league.
3. The Toffees have conceded 19 goals in their last 11 visits to Anfield while managing just one clean sheet. 

Team News 

Everton boss David Moyes faces a few selection headaches, with fitness issues ruling out Vitaliy Mykolenko, Nathan Patterson, and Jarrad Branthwaite for the weekend clash. 

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, James Garner (Defenders); Idrissa Gueye, Dewsbury-Hall, Iroegbunam (Midfielders) ; Ndiaye, Grealish, Beto (Forwards)

LIVERPOOL FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

Liverpool may not be at their fluent best, but history is firmly on their side as they welcome Everton on Saturday. The Reds have dominated this fixture at Anfield with nine wins in the last eleven meetings, losing just once. 

Yet, Moyes’ Everton have proved they can ruffle feathers, taking four points off their rivals in two of the last three meetings and pushing them hard on their last trip to Anfield. With both sides scrapping for momentum, this derby has all the makings of a cagey affair that might just end with honors even.
