Everton vs Liverpool: Preview, Prediction, Team News, Head-2-Head (h2h), Correct Score Prediction, Formation, Lineups & Current Form.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium is set to make history this Sunday as it hosts its inaugural Merseyside derby. Liverpool enters the match aiming to secure a seasonal double over Everton, though they’ll have to do so in the unaccustomed surroundings of this new territory.
While Liverpool claimed a gritty 2–1 victory in the reverse fixture back in September, their momentum has stalled significantly since. The pressure on manager Arne Slot has intensified following Tuesday’s disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain; he will be desperate for his squad to provide a defiant response this weekend.
Despite a dismal run of four losses in their last five outings, the Reds remain in fifth place and firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification. A win against their local rivals would provide a much-needed boost to those continental ambitions, though their recent dip in form remains a major cause for concern.
The Toffees aren’t out of the European race yet, trailing Liverpool by just five points as they head into the weekend. With three wins from their last five matches, Everton carries the superior momentum and will be sensing a golden opportunity to claim a rare and vital victory over their neighbors.

Everton vs Liverpool Correct Score Prediction
Confidence is at a seasonal low for Liverpool as they head into Sunday’s clash. Following a convincing midweek exit to PSG and a heavy FA Cup defeat at Manchester City, the Reds are struggling to find any reason for optimism amidst a string of lackluster performances in big games.
Compounding Arne Slot’s difficulties is a mounting availability crisis. With key figures sidelined in both the defensive and attacking lines, the squad is battling a toxic mix of fatigue and injury that makes an already daunting fixture feel even more uphill.
Everton find themselves in a polar opposite position: healthy, refreshed, and riding a wave of momentum. Their dominant 3-0 victory over Chelsea before the break has provided the team with a tactical masterclass to replicate this weekend.
Travel sickness continues to plague the Reds, who have suffered seven Premier League defeats away from Anfield this season—more than they have won. Their historical record on Everton’s turf is equally bleak, with just one win in their last eight visits, though the Hill Dickinson Stadium remains an untested variable.
While Liverpool’s defensive lapses often dominate the headlines, their lack of clinical finishing is becoming just as problematic. After failing to find the net midweek, the Reds have managed a meager three goals across their last five fixtures.
The form guide heavily favors the Toffees, who have secured 10 points from their last five matches. Having lost only four times in 2026 – half the tally of their rivals – Everton are perfectly positioned to capitalize on Liverpool’s fragility and secure a landmark derby result.
Prediction: Everton 2-1 Liverpool
