Liverpool FC at Everton FC 12/1/21 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

The Merseyside Derby is upon us on Wednesday, when a struggling Everton side will play host to a high-profile Liverpool team. Everton have been in really bad shape lately and are missing some key players once again. Liverpool have been in hellish form this season and will look to extend their winning streak.

Everton (4-6-3) are coming off yet another loss, this time by 1-0 on the road against Brentford, and they have been in some really deep trouble lately. They are win-less in their last 7 matches, losing 5 of their last 6 and failing to score in 4 of those. They were missing a couple of key men up front on and off this season and they just can’t seem to get any momentum. Everton are now sitting at the 14th spot of the league table with 15 points, scoring 16 goals and conceding 20 in the process. They have a 3-2-1 record at home, scoring 10 goals and conceding 8 so far. Everton did start with 3 consecutive home wins but they have been win-less in their last 3.

Liverpool (8-1-4) destroyed Southampton by 4-0 at home over the weekend, playing some dominating soccer and already leading by 3 goals at the half-time break. They now have 15 wins, just 1 loss and 4 draws in 20 matches in all competitions, while also keeping 12 clean sheets in that span. Liverpool are sitting at the 3rd spot of the Premier League with 28 points, scoring 39 goals and conceding 11 in the process. They have a 4-1-1 record on the road, scoring 21 goals and conceding just 6, the best goal differential on the road in the EPL. They also have 4 more away wins in other competitions, blasting Porto by 5-1 and Atletico Madrid by 3-2 in the Champions League.
