The Merseyside Derby is back after a short wait as the Premier League resumes with a blockbuster mid-week set of fixtures that includes two London derbies, one Merseyside derby, and a tasty clash at City Ground as well.
After crashing out from the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool only have 9 more matches to go in the season, and 4-5 of those may turn into a formality if Arne Slot’s men are able to wrap up the title by the fourth week of April. With a comfortable schedule featuring many sides from the lower half of the league standings, Slot should be confident of winning the league mathematically as they are currently 12 points above 2nd-placed Arsneal.
After tasting defeat in the League Cup final against Newcastle United, Slot missed out on the chance of lifting his first trophy in England but it’s only a matter of a few weeks before he lifts the most important trophy in the country. Right-backs Conor Bradley, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Joe Gomez are not in contention to take part in English football’s 212th Merseyside Derby while Allison and Ryan Gravenberch should be available after resting over the last couple of weeks.
On the other hand, Everton has the toughest possible schedule in April as they face all of the top five sides in the Premier League standings and David Moyes would be keen to walk into May comfortably above the relegation zone. Currently, the Toffees are in the 15th position with 34 points from 29 matches, and 17 of those points have been won under Moyes’s management in the last 10 matches since he was appointed the new head coach.
Moyes would once again miss the services of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin while the pair of Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNiel should be available to face Liverpool in a crucial fixture. Vitaly Mykolenko is also nearing full fitness but it’s unlikely that Moyes would risk the Ukranian full-back considering the tough schedule Everton has for the rest of the month.
The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.
Total goals Over 2.5 @ -129 (MGM Bet): With talents like Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez, Beto, Carlos Alacaraz, and Jack Harrison on show, the fans should expect a lot of goals in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday.
Mohammed Salah (To Score a Goal @ +100 as per MGM Bet): The leading goalscorer in the 2024-25 Premier League season, Mohammed Salah has scored 27 goals in 29 league matches apart from contributing 17 assists. Salah is on the brink of recording multipl records for highest goal contributions in the Premier League and also the most goals in the league if he continues his goal-scoring exploits.
Mohammed Salah would be hoping to win another Premier League title in style and might have individual records on the top of his head as well while Moyes has made his team defensively sound, Liverpool could walk away with a win on Wednesday.
Our Final Prediction: On paper, the Reds look like a formidable force and should have too much firepower for the Everton defense to handle, 3-1 seems the most likely result.
