THE LOWDOWN

EVERTON

  • It has been a copy-and-paste job for Everton lately as the Toffees have drawn three consecutive Premier League games 1-1, with Anthony Gordon having been on the scoresheet in the last two.
  • The Toffees remain without a number of key players such as striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, defenders Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina alongside, midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

LIVERPOOL

  • It was set to be more frustration for Liverpool on Wednesday evening against Newcastle, but substitute Fabio Carvalho’s hooked winner with the last kick of the game had Anfield in raptures and sparked chaotic scenes on the touchline.
  • The game is likely to come too soon for deadline day signing Arthur Melo to make his debut, however the Reds could be boosted by the availability of Diogo Jota should he pass a fitness test, although club captain Jordan Henderson has joined a lengthy injury list.

THE TEAM NEWS

EVERTON

PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Keane, Coady, Tarkowski; Coleman, Onana, Iwobi, Vinagre; Gordon, Gray; Rondon

UNAVAILABLE: Mina (Injured), Godfrey (Injured), Holgate (Injured), Doucoure (Injured), Townsend (Injured), Gomes (Injured), Calvert-Lewin (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

LIVERPOOL

UNAVAILABLE: Konate (Injured), Ramsay (Injured), Henderson (Injured), Keita (Injured), Thiago (Injured) Oxlade-Chamberlain (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Kelleher (Fitness), Jota (Fitness)

THE PREDICTION

Everton may be only one of three winless teams in the Premier League so far this season but form often goes out of the window on derby day, and Frank Lampard will no doubt have his men fired up to make life as difficult as possible for Liverpool here. The visitors’ injury problems in midfield makes them vulnerable but on the flip side, their last-gasp win against Newcastle midweek will have brought about a feel-good atmosphere in the dressing room, and they will take that into this contest. Liverpool have been slow starters all too frequently in recent times, with ten of their last 13 games in all competitions seeing the opposition score first, but their fighting qualities are undeniable and they are tipped to triumph in an entertaining Merseyside Derby.

TIP: LIVERPOOL TO WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
