Wednesday 8.15pm: Everton v Liverpool

I wish I could be more positive about Everton’s chances but it’s hard to see anything other than a very comfortable Liverpool victory. Actually, over the weekend, Rafa Benitez shortened from 5/1 into 4/6 favourite in our Sack Race market.

To be honest I think that’s very harsh on Benitez in that he took over and his summer signings were very low budget like Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray, and they’ve obviously suffered huge injuries with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Richarlison absent for extended periods.

But for this game specifically, I think it will probably be a damage-limitation operation for Everton as they try to restrict the space for Liverpool and try to reduce it to a game of few chances and maybe nick a 1-0 on the counter-attack.

I find that very hard to see. Ultimately, all seven of Liverpool’s wins this season have come to nil. We know Everton’s issues scoring goals and I like Liverpool to Win to Nil here.
