The Merseyside Derby will take place on Wednesday for the second time in the space of two months, with Everton trying to delay Liverpool’s march to the title. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
The last clash between these sides was the final one of its type at Goodison Park, and it was an emotional affair, which got a befitting end. Following James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser to tie the game 2-2, the home crowd went wild.
The aftermath of the celebrations saw Arne Slot suspended for his reactions, while Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucouré also got their fair share.
Since then, both teams have advanced in their quest. Liverpool have opened up a 12-point gap over second-placed Arsenal at the top of the table, while Everton have extinguished the fear of relegation with their ongoing nine-game unbeaten run in the league - their longest since February 2017.
Liverpool vs Everton Head to Head
This clash is often a feisty one, having seen more cards (25) than any other Premier League game, while only Chelsea versus Manchester United (27) have produced more draws than the Merseyside derby (26).
However, the Reds have dominated this fixture at Anfield, unbeaten in 26 such encounters in the 21st century, while they have won all of the previous seven played in front of a home crowd.

Alisson Becker and Ryan Gravenberch picked up injuries during the international break but have returned to training this week. However, Alisson will need a late fitness test before the derby.
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains sidelined, while Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are also likely to miss out, despite rejoining training.
Everton will be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack as he is still injured, while Vitalii Mykolenko is a doubt after suffering a thigh injury on international duty.
