If this match had been played a few weeks ago, it would have been a Merseyside Derby with all of the usual pride and passion, but most pundits would have agreed on it being a definite three-pointer for Liverpool.
How times can change, with the sacking of Sean Dyche and the appointment of the Everton legend David Moyes, there is now a buzz around Goodison Park. The recent victories against Spurs and Brighton show what a difference a new manager can make.
Moyes will know only too well that a victory against Liverpool will change Everton’s season from a relegation battle to a season where this proud team can once again hold their heads high.
Don’t forget, though, this is also a match that Liverpool will be determined to win, so let’s take a closer look at the betting opportunities that this match gives us.
Odds and Predictions
The best football betting sites have understandably made Everton the rank outsider for this match at odds of 7.50. Liverpool is a rather skinny 1.44, and the price for the draw is 4.33.
Whilst the David Moyes effect will definitely galvanise the Everton players, we still don’t think that they will have enough to beat this strong Liverpool side but we do believe that a draw is quite possible.
So, for the first of our predictions, we are going to recommend a draw with a scoreline of 1 – 1.
At odds of 9.0, we feel that this is a good bet and for the last one of our tips, we are advising a wager on the “Both teams to Score – Yes” market. The odds are short at 1.90 but this is a good bet, in our opinion.

Expected Line Ups
It is good to see Jake O’Brien in the Everton starting lineup, a brilliant young defender who didn’t get a look in under Sean Dyche and wasn’t Ndiaye impressive in the recent matches against Spurs and Brighton.
For Liverpool, they continue to impress. It is difficult to pinpoint a weak link on their side. In normal circumstances, they would be no match for this Everton team, but we all know that these are not normal circumstances.
Everton (4-2-3-1): J. Pickford; V. Mykolenko, J. Branthwaite, J. Tarkowski, Jake O’Brien; James Garner, I. Gueye; I. Ndiaye, A. Doucoure, J. Lindstrom; Beto.
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; A. Robertson, V. van Dijk, I. Konate, T. Alexander-Arnold; A. Mac Allister, R. Gravenberch, D. Szoboszlai; Cody Gakpo, M. Salah, Luis Diaz.
How Will the Season Pan Out
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that Liverpool is nailed on for the Premier League title. Only a poor run of form can stop them from romping away with the trophy.
It was looking like Everton would be spending the first season at their new ground in the Championship, but they are now in 16th position in the Premiership, seven points above Wolves, who are third from bottom.
Their aim should be to avoid relegation and under David Moyes, we firmly believe they can do that.
