Everton vs Liverpool: Merseyside derby prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds today | OneFootball

Everton host title-chasing Liverpool in the Premier League tonight in what will be Jurgen Klopp’s final Merseyside derby as manager.

The Reds may be slight outsiders in the title race but they ensured they will not let their season collapse with a win over Fulham on Sunday.

Such are the standards set by both Klopp and Manchester City over the years, however, they surely have little more space to slip up.

While they are heavy favourites for this Merseyside derby, it is the kind of game in which – at least theoretically – the form book can go out the window.

The Toffees may almost be there in their battle against relegation after a controversial win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Everton vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Wednesday, April 24, 2024.

Goodison Park in Liverpool will host.

The hosts will likely be without striker Beto after he was stretchered off against Forest following a clash of heads. He has since been released from hospital.

Seamus Coleman may be closing in on a return but this comes too soon. All of Dele Alli, Nathan Patterson and Lewis Dobbin will miss out.

Everton are also hopeful of having Dominic Calvert-Lewin available.

Liverpool have recovered most of their injured players of late, although Joel Matip, Ben Doak and Thiago Alcantara will play no part. Stefan Bajcetic is being eased back into action. Diogo Jota has been hit with a fresh hip injury and will miss around two weeks of action.

Klopp opted to rotate all of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai at Craven Cottage on Sunday. It remains to be seen whether or not they will come back in.

Everton would surely love to stop Liverpool’s title charge but it is difficult to see that actually happening, given their respective records this season.
