Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds are 11-11-1 in the past 23 meetings, losing the most recent meeting 2-0 with a severely depleted roster. Injuries derailed Liverpool's defense of its 2019-20 league title last season, but it is healthy and back to dominating this year. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota have been terrorizing teams in attack, as the Reds lead the league with 39 goals. Salah leads the Premier League in goals (11) and assists (eight), while Mane and Jota both have seven goals. Jota scored twice in the Reds' 4-0 demolition of Southampton on Saturday.
Mane and Jota both scored last season at Goodison Park in a 2-2 draw. The Reds will be motivated as they fight for the top spot with the Blues, who face Watford on Wednesday. Liverpool leads the league in shots (253) and shots on target (84) and is second in possession (62.2 percent). Everton holds the ball 41.4 percent of the time (17th in EPL) and puts less than 28 percent of its shots on net (18th). Virgil Van Djik is one of the world's best defenders, and Trent Alexander-Arnold (seven assists) has been baffling teams with his crosses all season.
Why you should back Everton
The Toffees are not the same team without Calvert-Lewin, but they have not lost in the past three meetings with the Reds and have 11 draws in the last 23. They also have the confidence from the win in the most recent matchup, and they have young talent in attack. Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend have both scored three times and set up two goals, and 24-year-old Richarlison should be available to lead the front line. The 24-year-old has scored in three of the last five meetings with Liverpool and has two goals and an assist in eight matches this season.
The Toffees held 61 percent possession and outshot Brentford 14-6 in Saturday's loss, with the only goal coming on a penalty. Three of the Toffees' four victories have come at Goodison Park, and they are plus-2 in goal differential (10-8) on their home ground. Manager Rafa Benitez is in danger of being fired if he can't turn things around, so the Everton players should feel a sense of urgency to pull off the upset. They also know they are edging close to the relegation zone and will have a boisterous home crowd behind them in this fierce rivalry. Everton leads the EPL in tackles (221) and will make it a point to harass the Liverpool attackers and not give up shots.
