Liverpool vs. Everton Betting Tips: Two predictions for Merseyside Derby

Live on Sky Sports, Liverpool host Everton in the Premier League on Monday night at Anfield for this massive Merseyside Derby. 

Tipster Wizard has two angles for the game, including a Bet Builder and a 21/4 double.

Liverpool sit 10th in the league table with 29 points, 12 points behind Newcastle who are in the final Champions League spot.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are having an incredibly disappointing season by their standards, having already lost five more games than their number of defeats in the entire last season.

The Reds are winless in their last four premier league games, a run that includes two humiliating 3-0 losses against Wolves and Brighton.

The home side are known for their attacking prowess but have failed to score in their last three Premier League games and serious improvement will be needed if they are to pick up the three points against a highly motivated Everton side.

• Premier League Top-4 Odds
• Best Betting Offers

Sean Dyche’s managerial stint at Everton started off in the perfect manner possible as they produced their best performance of the season for a morale-boosting win over league leaders Arsenal.

This was their first win in all competitions since the end of October after going winless in their last 10 competitive games.

The Toffees are still in the relegation zone and a positive result in the Merseyside Derby will be monumental in their bid for survival.

• Premier League Relegation Odds

Liverpool have dominated this fixture historically, losing just once against their rivals in their last 30 meetings at Anfield in all competitions. History is certainly on the side of the hosts but the current form of both teams makes this a tough game to predict.

An exciting Merseyside Derby awaits us, and as usual, I have you covered with two of my best betting angles below:

Team News:

Arthur, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Van Dijk, Konate & Firmino are out for Liverpool while Thiago doubtful.

Nathan Patterson, James Garner & Andros Townsend are out for Everton while Michael Keane & Calvert-Lewin are doubtful.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:

Allison; Trent, Matip, Gomez, Robertson; Elliot, Bajcetic, Henderson; Gakpo, Salah, Nunez

Everton possible starting lineup:

Pickford; Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Docoure, Gueye, Onana, McNeil, Iwobi; Maupay

Betbuilder @ 9/10:

• Darwin Nunez Over 2.5 shots in the match
• Everton Over 15.5 tackles in the match
• Under 4 goals in the match for Liverpool

Darwin Nunez is averaging 4.1 shots per game in the Premier League and has had at least three shots in all 11 starts for Liverpool in the league this season.

As for the tackles, Everton are averaging 19.9 tackles per game in the league away from home and also managed 18 tackles against Liverpool in the reverse leg.

Finally, Liverpool have failed to score a single goal in their last three consecutive league games and with an Everton side coming to Anfield to defend deep, I struggle to see how Liverpool score four goals here.

Combining these 3 selections gives us a solid Bet Builder @ 9/10 and I am happy to stake 1pt on that as our main bet for this game.

Place a pre-match bet on the standard Full Time Result market for Liverpool vs Everton and if the team you back to win goes 2 goals ahead at any stage during the match, bet365 will pay out your bet in full regardless of whether the opposition comes back to draw or win the match.

Amadou Onana averages the most fouls for Everton in the Premier League (1.6) and is their most booked player this season with six yellow cards to his name.

He was also booked in the reverse leg against Liverpool at Goodison Park.

As for the goals, Everton will be expected to stay organised in defence and try and hit Liverpool on the counter. With Liverpool’s attack misfiring, it makes sense to back the unders here.

The reverse leg between these two sides ended 0-0 earlier this season. Combining these 2 selections gives us a cracking double @ 21/4 and I am happy to stake a small 0.25pt on that as our 2nd bet for this game.
