Liverpool v Everton Betting Tips – Premier League 10th December 2.15 pm

This Merseyside derby will be made all the more interesting with Everton having won their last two league games to show some sign of improvement at least. Will they be able to hop across the city though and get one over on their bitter rivals? Liverpool have really started clicking up front again and they have rattled off at least three goals in five of their last six league games. They are the ones who are boasting the superior form, scoring power and head to head advantage. Little surprise that the Reds are favourites for the Merseyside duel.

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool are going great guns at the moment. They have really stepped up their campaign recently and in their last six Premier league outings they have gone W5 D1 and the drawn match in that sequence came in a tough challenge against Chelsea. They have really ramped up their scoring as well as the Reds have scored at least three goals in each of the five wins in that sequence of games. So after their sticky early form, they have responded really well and should go into this game full of confidence. Liverpool haven’t lost at home in the top flight this season having put up a W4 D3 record at Anfield and they have won two of their last three at Anfield now in the league. The last two wins that they have recorded at home were both by a 3-0 scoreline. In the William Hill correct score market, a Liverpool 3-0 is only an 8/1 option while a 2-0 return for them is at 13/2 and the shortest priced option in the market. The revelation for them this season has been the goal scoring power of Mo Salah who is the Premier League top goalscorer and he is a 5/6 anytime goalscorer favourite in the game. Liverpool easily outshines the quality of attacking talent compared to that of Everton and they are 3/1 odds to win this home fixture by a two goal margin. Even though they have conceded 19 league goals this season, only two of those have happened at Anfield.

Everton News and Form

Back to back wins in the league have left Everton’s season looking a little bit better. They have actually only suffered the one defeat in their last five games (D3 D1 L1) but all of the successes in that sequence have come at home. So they still have a lot to prove out on the road as they are still looking for their first away win in W0 D3 L4 record away from Goodison Park. Everton have hit the back of the net in each of their last five Premier League games and in four of those five, they scored at least two goals. Going back to their back to back wins in current form, they were both produced at Goodison Park against West Ham and Huddersfield, both sides who are struggling badly at the moment. Can they live with a better side? They have not managed to take a clean sheet away from home this season and they have shipped sixteen goals in seven road games this season and have only scored the five. Over 2.5 goals at William Hill has to be a bit of a banker and that can be backed up with the Reds winning the match if you are looking for extended value. Wayne Rooney is their shortest priced anytime goalscorer option for this one at 10/3. The Toffees have scored the opening goal in just one away game this season and six of their sixteen away goals conceded have come in the final fifteen minutes of matches. They have only scored one second half goal away from Goodison Park in the league this season.

Liverpool v Everton Predictions

Liverpool to win: Everton have had a couple of wins to boost their fortunes, but those at the end of the day we’re home games against weaker opposition. They are likely going to find Liverpool’s attack too much to handle and the Reds to win by a two goal margin looks pretty good value.
