The Reds and Blues drew 2-2 last time around in the game which saw Virgil van Dijk’s season ended by a Jordan Pickford challenge, while Thiago also spent time sidelined after Richarlison’s red-carded tackle. Only one place separates the neighbours in the table, the Reds three points ahead in sixth but with Everton having a game in hand.
Neither team comes into the match in great form; in league play they’ve taken one point between them in the last six matches combined, with Liverpool dropping from top spot to outside the Champions League places with alarming rapidity of late.

However, the Reds did return to winning ways last time out as they earned a 2-0 win in the Champions League against RB Leipzig. They are still contending with several injuries in the squad, but Jurgen Klopp will hope they can string a run of results together to push back into the top four soon.

Prediction
Everton haven’t won at Anfield this millennium. Manager Carlo Ancelotti might feel this is a good time for the match but his side have a habit of creaking when it matters most - same again this time out. Liverpool 3-1 Everton.
