Liverpool vs Everton tips and predictions: Goals, red cards and plenty of drama in the Merseyside derby
Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage is expecting fireworks in the 243rd Merseyside derby as Liverpool look for a return to winning ways in the Premier League.
This is the most drawn fixture in Premier League history, 69 draws in 208 encounters between these two sides.
But I don’t think this one will be a draw. I think home advantage at Anfield for Liverpool will be enough.
Red card is a possibility. I think there’s been the most red cards in this Premier League fixture than any other. I’m gonna go for Liverpool to win 2-0 and a red card in the game.

The Premier League marks its return this Saturday afternoon with an iconic derby as Liverpool host Everton at Anfield.
The Reds have dominated this fixture in recent times, with Jurgen Klopp’s men currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten run – three of those victories.
During this run, Liverpool have scored eight goals while Everton found the back of the net just once.
The Toffees struggled in the goal scoring department in the first seven games of the season having bagged just six of them.
However, Sean Dyche appeared to have found the missing formula in the latest Premier League outings as his side swept aside Bournemouth in a 3-0 success.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have enjoyed a tremendous start to the campaign, with many tipping the side to be Manchester City’s closest title challengers.
Despite this, the Reds enter Saturday’s derby looking to snap their two-match winless run after backing up their controversial defeat to Tottenham with a 2-2 draw away at Brighton.
We’re backing Liverpool to score two goals for the third consecutive match as they look to keep pace in the title race. The Reds to win the match to nil is another enticing option in the betting.
