Everton vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League updates, latest team news, TV, prediction Everton host Liverpool on Wednesday night in the final Merseyside derby to be held at Goodison Park.
Always a game to look out for when the fixture dates are released, Everton’s imminent stadium move only adds to the narrative, as does the chance for Liverpool to move nine points clear of Arsenal in the title race as they finally contest their game in hand.
Now Liverpool will hope to bounce back from their FA Cup upset at Plymouth that took the shine off that emphatic Carabao Cup semi-final revenge mission against Tottenham by winning their game in hand and moving nine points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal in the title race.
But Arne Slot’s men could face a stern test against an Everton side who, prior to their own FA Cup fifth round exit at home to high-flying Bournemouth, had been resurgent under returning boss David Moyes, with a succession of eye-catching victories moving them nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Everton are also currently without the likes of Dwight McNeil, Armando Broja, Seamus Coleman and Youssef Chermiti, though full-back Vitalii Mykolenko is now back in training after missing the FA Cup defeat by Bournemouth as a precaution.
