The Premier League features another edition of the Merseyside derby as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool lock horns with arch-rivals Everton in an important clash at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Everton vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have shown improvement after a decidedly slow start to their campaign. The Merseyside giants edged Newcastle United to a crucial 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Everton, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have been in poor form this season. The Toffees were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds United this week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Everton vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have managed to stage a comeback in the Premier League but have a mountain to climb in the coming months. Jurgen Klopp’s men are seven points off the top of the table and cannot afford to drop points in this fixture.
Everton can pack a punch on their day but have struggled to impose themselves so far this season. Liverpool are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
