Liverpool v Everton Predictions

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 16 matches in all competitions but recently have been made to work hard for their wins. A 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday was followed up with a 2-1 win at Burnley on New Years Day. This shows that the Reds are not just an attacking force, they can grind out wins too.

Everton are now starting to struggle and are winless in four. The Toffees didn’t even manage a shot on target against Manchester United on New Years Day and questions are starting to be asked about Sam Allardyce’s tactics. Add the fact that Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield against their Merseyside rivals since September 1999 and it will be very tough for Everton.

The tip is for Liverpool to claim the win 2-0 and for Everton’s struggles to continue.
