Liverpool vs Everton predictions in the Premier League week 34 on Sunday night
Liverpool vs Everton schedule will be present in the 34th week of the Premier League at Anfield Stadium, Sunday night, April 24, 2022.
This season's Merseyside Derby is a little different. Both carry heavy loads. Liverpool are targeting victory to still be able to compete with Manchester City at the top of the table. While Everton need maximum points to stay in the Premier League.
The Reds are currently in the second post of the standings with 76 points or only four points behind Mancehster City who collect 80 points. If they are able to win this game, Liverpool will be able to return the difference to one point.
The Reds have never lost at home in the Premier League so far this season (13 wins, 3 draws). They also just bent Manchester United 4-0 in the previous match. Referring to that reason, the mentality of Liverpool players is doing well.
Everton also have a chance to provide a difficult match. Frank Lampard's squad is now on a fairly positive track after going unbeaten in two consecutive matches in the Premier League.
This is the 240th Merseyside Derby in a competitive match. Of the previous 239 duels, Liverpool won 96, Everton 67 wins, with the other 76 games drawn.
The two met in 59 premier league games (since 1992), 25 won by Liverpool while Everton won only 10 times.

The current condition of the two clubs
Ahead of hosting Everton, Liverpool got bad news from Roberto Firmino. The player is reportedly injured and must miss the important match. Jurgen Klopp is likely to rest a number of his key players, such as Thiago, Sadio Mane and Joel Matip.
Meanwhile, in the Everton camp, Frank Lampard will lose Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Andros Townsend to injury. However, Lampard still has the right reserves to patch up the empty space left by the two.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita; Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz.
Coach: Jurgen Klopp.
Everton (4-3-3): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey, Vitalii Mykolenko; Fabian Delph, Allan, Alexander Iwobi; Anthony Gordon, Richarlison, Demara Gray.

Liverpool vs Everton predictions
Liver Pool have won their seven home games in 2022, in the process scoring 21 goals and conceding just once. Everton have lost 10 of their last 11 away games in the league. The record of both teams, as well as the player material they have, makes Liverpool very underdogs to win in this match.
