Everton vs Arsenal Preview
With Everton just outside of the drop zone and Liverpool chasing silverware, the stakes could not be higher. Sean Dyche’s men bounced back from a 6-0 mauling at Chelsea by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Goodison Park — and home advantage could be a major factor once again. The Toffees have recorded clean sheets in their last two games on Merseyside but keeping Liverpool quiet will not be an easy task.
Jurgen Klopp was able to start Mohamed Salah on the bench at Fulham and his side still came away with a 3-1 win. Having already bagged the Carabao Cup, Klopp has his sights set firmly on league success as he bids to bow out with the second title of his trophy-laden spell with the Reds. Diogo Jota celebrated his return to Liverpool’s starting line-up with the final goal against the Cottagers — highlighting the strength in depth the German tactician has at his disposal when all of his attackers are fit.
Considering the reverse fixture at Anfield saw the Reds run out 2-0 winners in October, there could be fireworks as the hosts look to even the score and dent their rivals’ title chances.
Latest Premier League Betting Odds
Liverpool are favourites to pick up maximum points but 9/20 (1.45) for an away win is not as appealing as 15/4 (4.75) for a draw. A point would delight the Toffees faithful and see Dyche’s side take another step towards safety. But if you fancy them to follow up their victory over Forest by pulling off an upset, 29/5 (6.80) for a home win cannot be overlooked.
Everton vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Liverpool players dominate the first goalscorer market, with 31-year-old Salah leading the way at 10/3 (4.33) and Darwin Nunez priced at 4/1 (5.00).
Jota, 27, is a tasty 9/2 (5.50) but Everton hitman Dominic Calvert-Lewin represents better value at 10/1 (11.00) after netting in two of his last three league outings.
Bet Builder Quick Bets: Liverpool to win, both teams to score and Salah to score first
An away win, both teams to score and Salah to strike first is an eye-catching bet builder at 9/1 (10.00). The Egyptian has netted 17 league goals this term and will be looking to close the gap on joint leaders Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer, who both have 20, in the race for the Golden Boot.
