Arne Slot head coach of Liverpool during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Liverpool FC at St James' Park
As Everton and Liverpool gear up for yet another intense face-off, this particular meeting carries a unique weight. Goodison Park is poised to host what might be its last Merseyside derby unless fate sees them clash in the FA Cup later this season. This encounter will close a chapter on 133 years of fierce rivalry and shared history.
The bookies are expecting the visitors to come out victorious at 2/5 with CopyBet while the Toffees look to end their final Merseysdie derby at Goodison Park in the Premier League at 11/2 and a draw is 15/4. Last season, the hosts ended a 12-year winless run at home as they beat their Red neighbours 2-0.
Liverpool, despite a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle recently, remain strong contenders for the Premier League crown. Their commanding performances have left them as favourites, holding a seven-point cushion over their closest pursuers. The Reds are determined to keep their momentum and solidify their position at the top.
Meanwhile, Everton finds itself in a different kind of battle. Their resounding 4-0 victory against Wolves has injected some much-needed vitality into their campaign. However, they still hover dangerously close to relegation, just five points above the dreaded drop zone. For the Toffees, every match is critical as they fight to maintain their Premier League status.
Under the stewardship of Sean Dyche, Everton has managed to stay afloat amidst internal chaos at the boardroom level. His guidance has been pivotal in navigating turbulent times, providing a glimmer of hope for better days ahead as they anticipate moving to a new stadium. Nevertheless, another loss in this derby could dim these prospects, heightening the risk of beginning life at their new home in the Championship.
The stakes are immense for both clubs. Liverpool aims to reinforce their title ambitions and inch closer to another league triumph. For Everton, it's about survival and ensuring that their storied legacy continues in England's top tier.
Goodison Park has been the backdrop for countless unforgettable moments in Merseyside derbies over the decades. From exhilarating wins to crushing defeats, this legendary ground has been a stage for dreams and despair alike for both sets of supporters. As it prepares for its final derby, emotions will undoubtedly run high among fans who have cherished each moment within its historic confines.
