Liverpool vs Everton Preview

• Tournament: Premier League 2025/26 season
• Date: Saturday, 20th September 2025
• Kick-off time: 12:30 BST
• Venue: Anfield, Liverpool

The glorious Merseyside Derby is set to add another instalment as Liverpool host Everton at Anfield. In this Liverpool vs Everton prediction, you will know everything about this contest.

The defending champions Liverpool, who are also the current league leaders, remain in resilient form. Another late winner against Burnley saw them go 4/4 and stay on top of the league. Although they are not in full swing yet, the Reds are the team to beat. Alexander Isak might finally make his full debut in front of the Kop.

In the blue corner, Everton are searching for a rare victory at Anfield again, in front of a crowd this time. Everton manager David Moyes is working wonders as the Toffees are enjoying life again. They reinforced the backline with cleansheets, and the attack is coming into rhythm. This game would largely hinge on their defence keeping Liverpool's attack quiet and their attack chipping something away on the break.

The so-called “Friendly Derby” will produce a lot of clashes, cards, and spectacular goals to serve as an entertaining clash for the neutrals and a nail-biter for fans.

Ahead of the Merseyside derby, SportsDunia brings you the Liverpool vs Everton Prediction, Liverpool vs Everton predicted lineups and where to watch Liverpool vs Everton.

Liverpool Team News

Arne Slot has a near fully fit squad at his disposal before the clash. Curtis Jones might be touch-and-go for the game as he suffered an injury early in the week. He has a real headache in picking his midfield and whether handling Isak is a start or not, as he gains match fitness. Dominik Szoboszlai will be hoping for a start, given his superior form in midfield, as Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong return to full fitness.

Everton Team News

Iliman Ndiaye shrugged off his injury fears to start against Aston Villa. However, Moyes would love to unleash the tricky Tyler Dibling to cause some chaos in the Liverpool backline. Jarrad Branthwaite is stepping up his rehab, but he might not make this game. He can either start Beto again to hurt Liverpool like he did last season, or pull a trick shot by starting the lightning-quick Thierno Barry to explore Liverpool's high line.

Liverpool vs Everton H2H Record

Key players to watch in Liverpool vs Everton

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Despite the arrival of new superstars in town, the iconic Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah will be the danger man for the Reds with his chance creation and vital goal scoring. He is hunting that Golden Boot again. Even on an off-day, he will produce the goods, and given his record in the Merseyside Derby, he will be lethal.

Jack Grealish (Everton)

Winning his first POTM at Everton, the technically gifted British winger Jack Grealish looks fresh and is enjoying freedom to roam and create. He can certainly hurt Liverpool's ultra-attacking right side. Grealish, however, has to track back effectively as Salah will feast on any lapse in concentration.

Liverpool vs Everton Prediction

The Reds would be the overwhelming favourites given their solid squad depth and form. But in a derby, form always goes out of the window. Everton will play for pride and will not be swayed by their opposition's star names. Expect a scrappy affair with plenty of first-time players in this derby. However, Liverpool's quality might shine through to get all three points.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 3-1 Everton
