Liverpool are closing in on the Premier League title and the business end of their campaign begins with a Merseyside derby.

Liverpool vs Everton Preview
The Premier League title is all that is left for Liverpool now after the aforementioned loss to Newcastle and their Champions League elimination at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Of course, winning the league is still a major achievement, especially as this is Slot’s first season in charge after succeeding Jurgen Klopp.
But the Dutch boss will be eager for his side to rediscover their sparkling displays from earlier in the campaign, form which had them heralded as the best team in Europe.
To be fair, in the top flight Liverpool have been impressive of late, winning four of the last five and opening up a 12-point lead over Arsenal.
Everton are unbeaten in nine Premier League outings, although have drawn five of the previous six – including the 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Goodison Park.
But it is clear David Moyes has inspired positive change since returning to the Toffees and Slot will know better than anyone that Wednesday’s opponents cannot be taken lightly.
Everton have not won at Anfield since February 2021, when Carlo Ancelotti was in the dugout.
And it will take something very, very special for Moyes’ men to repeat that feat.
Liverpool vs Everton Odds
*All odds are subject to change
As expected, Liverpool are huge favourites for the win at odds of 1.36. Everton are priced at 8.80, while the draw is 5.00.
Liverpool vs Everton Betting Tips
Liverpool first goalscorer – Mohamed Salah @ 3.20
Salah leads the way for Premier League goals this season with 27 and it is rare that he does not deliver the goods at Anfield. The Egyptian has netted eight times in 12 top-flight appearances against Everton.
Liverpool to score in both halves – Yes @ 2.13
The Reds’ tendency to come flying out the traps at Anfield has perhaps waned somewhat in recent times. But a Merseyside skirmish with the Premier League trophy in sight has the potential to change all of that.
Over 5.5 cards @ 2.42
The Merseyside derby is usually a fixture riddled with cards, given the fierce rivalry. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were each sent off in the reverse fixture.
