Everton and Liverpool face off this weekend in the last ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
There’s so much history to this fixture, and these two sides face off for the final time at Goodison on Saturday afternoon.
There will be a lot of emotion heading into this game, but if there’s one thing Arne Slot’s side have shown this season it’s that they’re completely unaffected by these sorts of occasions.
Indeed, Liverpool have been cold-blooded and ruthless in every game they’ve played this season, and that’s why they’re top of the league.
Liverpool are favourites for the Premier League, while Everton will just be happy with staying up this season.
A derby game is always difficult to predict, but speaking on his TikTok page, Troy Deeney has stuck his neck on the line and had a go at calling this one.

Troy Deeney predicts Everton vs Liverpool
Deeney shared his verdict on how this game will go.
The pundit says this is a huge match, but he thinks Everton will be exposed here.
Storm Darragh will affect this game, but Deeney thinks Liverpool’s quality will shine through.
“Oh it’s a huge game to be fair this. I feel like it’s a bad game for Everton. They’re going to try to stick it on Liverpool, and they’re going to get exposed. I’m going to go 3-1 Liverpool,” Deeney said.
Liverpool’s recent record at Goodison Park
Deeney says he’s fairly confident of a Liverpool win here, but perhaps he shouldn’t be so sure.
Yes, Liverpool are ahead of Everton in the league table, and, on paper, they are a much better team.
However, football isn’t played on paper, and these derby games can be very unpredictable.
Liverpool have been better than Everton for a long time, but they have won just two of their last 10 games at Goodison Park.

Something about the atmosphere at Goodison clearly doesn’t sit right with this Liverpool team, and they can’t seem to find the right rhythm or form in these games.
In theory, looking at the two teams, Liverpool should be the victors here, but, as the recent results in this fixture show, this is likely to be a very tough game.
