Everton vs. Liverpool Prediction, Spread, Total Goals for Premier League – Sunday, April 19
Everton will look to start their Merseyside Derby history at their new ground in similar fashion to how they closed at Goodison Park. The Toffees got a 98th-minute piledriver goal from James Tarkowski on Feb. 12, 2025, to secure a 2-2 draw and go three unbeaten at home vs. Liverpool.
That’s been a familiar result in this fixture. Dating back to 2012, the last 13 Merseyside Derbies hosted by Everton have featured 10 draws, with Liverpool winning on two occasions. In comparison, Liverpool have won 13 of the 17 meetings at Anfield in all competitions during that same span.
If Liverpool are to break through, they will do so without ST Hugo Ekitike. The French forward tore his Achilles tendon in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat at PSG on Tuesday, and he will miss the rest of the season and the World Cup.
They also remain without GK Alisson, CB Joe Gomez, RB Conor Bradley, and MF Wataru Endo. ST Alexander Isak is still not back to full-match fitness but will likely start and play at least 60 minutes.
The home side will still be without MF Jack Grealish, but Everton are otherwise healthy. They’re in solid form, with only Everton denying them points in their last five matches.
The Toffees have conceded just one goal in their last three home matches, but have actually performed much better on the road this campaign. However, Liverpool have just one win in their last five in all competitions.
Perhaps the most damning stat for Liverpool is how they’ve performed on the road vs. quality opponents. In six away fixtures this season against teams currently in the top half of the table, Liverpool have claimed just one point.
One player to keep an eye on is RW Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool legend is playing his final Merseyside Derby, and has scored in four of his last six starts for the Reds despite a rough campaign. This could be a spot where Salah adds one final chapter to his time at the club.
