Why you should back Liverpool
Only one of the Reds' seven losses have come at Anfield, and they have a 23-9 goal differential on home soil. They still have dangerous attackers, with Mohamed Salah leading the charge. The Egyptian striker has seven goals, which is not up to his standard, but he is still a dangerous presence. Salah shared the Golden Boot last season with 23 goals. Darwin Nunez, who has 10 goals in all competitions, and Cody Gakpo also can create a lot of problems for defenders. Gakpo had 12 goals in 19 matches with PSV Eindhoven before arriving after the World Cup.
Liverpool have had a ton of injuries, but they face an Everton squad that has scored just 16 goals. If their talented attack can find at least one goal, they'll be in good shape. The Toffees are 1-4-5 on the road and have scored just six away goals. The Reds are 12-9-1 in their past 22 home meetings with Everton. The last meeting ended 0-0, but Liverpool had an 8-3 advantage in shots on target and held 61% possession.
Why you should back Everton
The Toffees found a huge spark with Dyche taking over on the bench following Frank Lampard's sacking. The longtime Burnley manager relies on a fierce defensive game, and Everton should frustrate the Reds all day. Dyche went with a 4-5-1 against Arsenal, with physical midfielders Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gueye and Andre Onana in the center. Dwight McNeil and Alex Iwobi help the fullbacks, and James Tarkowski and Conor Coady are a stout pairing in the middle. Jordan Pickford, who is third in the league with 75 saves, is the last line of defense.
It's no wonder Arsenal had trouble penetrating this wall, and they put just three of their 15 shots on target. Everton are third in tackles won (232), with Onana recording 33 (sixth in EPL). They are sixth in yellow cards (46), and Tarkowski leads the league in blocks (57). The Toffees have had a lot of trouble scoring, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin finally appears to be healthy. He has one goal in 11 matches, and Demarai Gray (three goals) also can be a handful. Calvert-Lewin had 29 goals from 2019-21, but injuries have limited him to 28 games since the start of last season.
