It's early days in the Premier League and both Everton and Liverpool are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s called the Merseyside Derby whenever these two teams meet, as both come from Liverpool in the Merseyside area in North West England. It's the longest running top level derby in England, as the teams have met every year since the 1962-63 season. The clubs are located very close to each other in the city of Liverpool and the fans rarely use violence each other. On the pitch the temperature is high and this derby is known for its many red cards.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Everton form and stats
As mentioned below, Everton are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
A nice win for Everton last time playing, versus Brighton & Hove Albion. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2 with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Rodríguez (2) and Yerry Mina scoring for the victors. Ahead of that match, Everton won a home game hosting West Ham United (4-1).
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Everton at home in the league. 9 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Liverpool form and stats
Things could have gone better for Liverpool in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Liverpool are travelling again after losing away to Aston Villa in their previous match (2-7). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Arsenal (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties).
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Aston Villa was particularly ugly (2-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Champions League trip to Ajax.
Liverpool have the goal stats of 4-7 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Everton zero wins, four draws and Liverpool six victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
