Everton vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (17 March)

Everton last graced the top-flight, ending that campaign by losing eight of their last 11 matches of the regular season, so a return to this level could represent a significant step up in class. Liverpool are probably not the opponents that they would have chosen to face, with Everton boasting eight wins from ten games of late.

Having been involved in 17 consecutive home games containing over 2.5 goals in the Premier League, it would be fair to say that Everton have been the epitome of consistency on this particular front. Not only that, but the deadlock has also been broken in 16 of the most recent 18 second-tier fixtures involving Liverpool, so a goalless draw in this contest seems unlikely.

Over the course of their last 17 fixtures in the Premier League, Everton have been involved in just four encounters in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes. Although Liverpool cannot quite match these levels of consistency, at least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet in 12 of their previous 19 third-tier games.
