What was the betting on this game going back a week ago after Liverpool lost at Leicester? Since then, Everton were beaten by Fulham and they looked absolutely hopeless.

Liverpool then won against RB Leipzig in an excellent performance in the Champions League. Everton then lost again against Manchester City. They played better, yes, but the result was still the same.

Liverpool’s record against Everton is phenomenal. It’s at Anfield, Liverpool will be up for it, I think the Reds will win it. However, I think it’ll be a goal fest!

Everton will be fired up. Their attitude was better against City than in their defeat against Fulham and they will be up for the derby. One big thing for Everton is whether Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit enough to play.

Richarlison started up top against City and scored. I think he’ll get another goal against Liverpool.

THOMMO’S TIPS: Liverpool will also have to be wary of Everton’s aerial threat at Anfield – and if Calvert-Lewin plays, it will need even more focus on it. I’m going for Liverpool to Win 3-2 and Richarlison to Score Anytime.
