Everton – Liverpool: the first derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium 
This derby marks the opening of the new ground for a rivalry that never needs any extra heat. The hosts are chasing a European place by the end of the season. The visitors want to stay in the top four. Kickoff should bring a tight, tactical scrap. Local pride is doing plenty of the heavy lifting as the run-in gets serious.
Everton’s resilience 
The manager has a squad brimming with confidence right now. The home side battled to a decent draw at Brentford recently. Their return of 10 points from 15 available tells the story. The players are eyeing the 50-point mark. Hill Dickinson Stadium is waiting for a third straight win. The mood in camp is spot on ahead of this clash. The home defence will need to be ruthless.
Liverpool’s doubts under Arne Slot 
Liverpool are going through a rough spell. The squad comes in off a heavy Champions League exit. A recent league win did little to calm the nerves among Liverpool fans. Their away form is worrying the Liverpool hierarchy. Liverpool have now lost four straight on the road. Hanging on to a top-four spot is becoming the only target that matters. The coaching staff are searching for answers to get the side moving again.
Likely lineups
Everton : Pickford ; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko ; Garner, Gueye ; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye ; Beto
Liverpool : Mamardashvili ; Szoboszlai, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez ; Gravenberch, Jones ; Salah, Wirtz, Ngumoha ; Isak

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is still sport: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no bet without risk. Even when something looks obvious, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all: do not chase losses, because that usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If you feel it is taking up too much space in your life, getting on your nerves or putting you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist service. That is what it is there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and that it will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast: money lost, family tension, addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They have no legal force. In plain English: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information moves fast
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But by the time the match comes around, the team sheet can change, a player can pick up an injury, the weather can turn… and the analysis may already be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before you bet, make sure gambling is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
