Liverpool and Everton will add a new chapter to their fabled rivalry when they meet for the 247th Merseyside derby on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool have enjoyed a perfect start to the 2025/26 Premier League season, winning all four of their top-flight matches.
David Moyes’ Everton have also done well for themselves, amassing seven points from four games, registering two wins, one draw, and one defeat.
Owing to their blistering form, the Reds are very much the favourites to retain the championship. Liverpool are 7/5 with football betting sites to win their 21st Premier League title in May.
Liverpool vs Everton Build-Up and Team News
Build-Up
Arne Slot took Liverpool to Premier League glory in his debut season, instantly becoming a part of the club’s folklore. The owners rewarded him by giving him free rein in the summer transfer window, allowing him to break the British transfer record twice.
The two most expensive signings, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, have yet to start firing, but Liverpool have very much found their footing.
Liverpool have won four games in the Premier League, beating Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Burnley, to climb to the top of the top-flight rankings. On Wednesday, the Reds beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in their Champions League opener.

Virgil van Dijk scored the winner in injury time to extend Liverpool’s dominant run. Atletico boss Diego Simeone got sent off shortly after Van Dijk’s winner as he clashed with Liverpool fans.
Everton have also done well for themselves this season. The Toffees suffered a 1-0 defeat to Leeds United in their season opener, but they have since bounced back. They beat Brighton & Hove Albion (2-0) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-2) before drawing 0-0 with Aston Villa.

Liverpool vs Everton Prediction and Best Bet
Liverpool are on a roll at the moment. They have dominated most of their opponents, and have got results in the games they failed to. Arne Slot’s side are bursting with quality and confidence, and we do not think Everton will be able to stop them in their tracks.
Our Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Everton
Liverpool vs Everton Best Bet
After a few lacklustre performances, Mohamed Salah was back at his absolute best in the 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid. He scored, assisted, and took six shots, three of which landed on target. We believe Salah will put in another top shift against Everton and keep Jordan Pickford on his toes.
Best Bet: Mohamed Salah to Have Over 1.5 Shots on Target @ 9/5
