Match preview

Everton head into the derby in strong and steady form. David Moyes’ men have suffered just one defeat in their last five outings — against leaders Arsenal — while also recording eye-catching wins over Newcastle (3-2) and Chelsea (3-0), underlining their ability to compete with top sides. With a European spot still within reach, motivation for this clash couldn’t be higher.

Home advantage could play a crucial role. Goodison Park has long been a difficult venue for Liverpool, with Everton losing only twice in their last 12 home derbies and maintaining a solid unbeaten run. With no fresh injury concerns, Moyes is expected to stick with his well-organized, compact system.

Liverpool, by contrast, arrive in a far less stable state. The Reds have picked up just one win from their last five matches, with recent setbacks including defeats to PSG (0-2), Manchester City (0-4), and Brighton (1-2). A 2-0 win over Fulham offered some relief, but overall consistency remains an issue.

Injuries further complicate matters for the visitors. Ekitike is out long-term, while Alisson, Bradley, and Endo are also unavailable, limiting squad depth. Still, Liverpool’s individual quality remains undeniable, and with full focus on the league run-in, every result will be crucial in their push for a Champions League spot.
