Liverpool v Everton: Match Preview

The first Merseyside Derby of the new 2025/26 Premier League kicks off this Saturday at Anfield, with reigning champions Liverpool as the odds-on favourites to secure 3 points.

The last time these 2 sides met was back in April, when Liverpool beat Everton 1-0 at Anfield, and Arne Slot will no doubt be looking for a repeat outcome of that match.

Liverpool have also won 3 of their last 5 matches against Everton, and with home advantage, the expected win would see them extend their unbeaten run this season to 5 matches.

Slot’s side have won all 4 of their matches this season, kicking off with a 4-2 victory over Bournemouth, that was followed up with a 3-2 victory away to Newcastle.

A narrow 1-0 win over title rivals Arsenal, followed by another narrow1-0 win, this time away to Burnley, means Liverpool are currently top of the table with 12 points and a 5+ goal difference.

However, Liverpool's last 2 Premier League wins haven't been that convincing, and only won their Champions League tie in midweek thanks to an injury time goal from Virgil van Dijk.

Everton meanwhile have only lost 1 game so far this season, 1-0 away to Leeds on the opening day, and have generally been playing much better than they did last season.

That loss was followed up with wins against Brighton and Wolverhampton, while last weeks match against Aston Villa resulted in a 0-0 draw, they're still in 6th place on 7 points.

David Moyes will no doubt be preparing his squad for a really tough game against Liverpool, Merseyside derbies always are irrespective of form, and they'll need to be competitive, as well as resilient, to come away from Anfield with with any points.

In the lead up to Liverpool v Everton, we've taken a look at both team’s recent performances, and any player injuries that could affect either managers match preparations.

Liverpool v Everton will be broadcast live on TNT Sports at 12:30pm on Saturday lunchtime.

Liverpool: Team News

Most pundits are expecting Liverpool to field a really strong line-up against their Merseyside rivals, and luckily they have very few injury concerns coming into the Derby.

New signing Alexander Isak is predicted to make his Premier League debut against Everton after starting the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

The Reds broke the British transfer fee record to sign Isak from Newcastle, but he's been focusing on his fitness ever since, and hasn’t yet played for Liverpool in the Premier League.

Curtis Jones remains a concern fitness wise, while Alexis MacAllister seems to be ok after playing 30+ minutes in their Champions League match midweek.

Luckily their Champions League match didn't result in any fresh injury concerns.

After Arne Slot lifted the trophy last year in his debut season managing the team, Liverpool have picked up maximum points so far this season, reaffirming their status as title contenders.

Mo Salah remains a vital presence, combining experience with consistent output, while defensive signings Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong will continue to grow in influence.

Liverpool’s midfield has benefited from improved balance and depth, with Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz have formed a cohesive unit capable of dictating tempo with defensive cover.

Defensively, Liverpool have been relatively solid, though not perfect.

They’ve conceded 4 goals in 4 matches this season, probably due to lapses in concentration, but luckily Alisson Becker remains one of the league’s most dependable goalkeepers.

Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté continue to anchor the backline, with back up full-backs Conor Bradley and Andy Robertson remain key in both defence and attack.

Overall, Liverpool’s Premier League campaign is off to a near-perfect start, and although not as fluid as last season, they are playing with confidence, intensity, and tactical clarity.

While tougher fixtures surely lie ahead for Slot's side, early signs suggest that Liverpool are well-positioned to defend their title, and compete on multiple fronts again this season.

Liverpool: Form

Looking at the last 5 fixtures that Liverpool have played in all competitions, they've won 4, drawn 1, and lost 0, scoring a total of 11 goals (2.2 goals per game) and conceding a total of 6 goals.

Everton: Team News

David Moyes has overseen a decent start to Everton’s Premier League campaign, and fortunately only has a few injury concerns ahead of the derby versus Liverpool.

One of those is Vitalii Mykolenko, who missed the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa. It's hoped he'll be back for Saturday’s match, but we’ll have to wait to hear from Moyes in his press conference.

Jarrad Branthwaite’s fitness is still in question, after he suffered 2 injuries in pre-season. He has been spotted in training, but the Liverpool match might come too soon for him to feature.

Everton’s strong ability to create chances and maintain possession has been better than most had hoped for; however, putting the ball in the net consistently has been a challenge.

Jack Grealish has been playing exceptionally well since his move from Man City, generating 4 assists for his teammates over the first 4 games of the season.

Moyes’s sides biggest challenge playing Liverpool will be their ability to convert sufficiently.

While they generally start well, maintaining that n big matches will test their depth. Some matches have seen Everton struggle to see out leads or break down defensively robust teams.

Overall, Everton’s impressive start suggests that they are in better shape than expected.

The attacking flair (especially through Grealish and Ndiaye) is encouraging; if they can improve their finishing, and keep players fit, they'll probably push for a top‑half finish this season.

But there are warning signs: the inability to kill games off when dominant as seen by them only managing 2 shots on target from 20 attempts versus Aston Villa will need to improve.

Everton have a poor record in the Merseyside derby, having only won 2 of the previous 29 Premier League encounters (D14 L13), and failing to score in 5 of the past 7 seven fixtures.

There's also the worrying statistic that Moyes hasn't won a Premier League fixture at Anfield in 20 attempts (D6 L14), and so coming away with any points would be considered a success.

Everton: Form

Everton's record over their last 5 matches in all competitions is won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1. They've scored less goals than Liverpool, 7 in total (1.4 per game), but also conceded less (5).
