Premier League: Everton vs. Liverpool Picks — Reds to Bounce Back From FA Cup Embarrassment (Feb 12)

Midweek Premier League action is set for Feb 12, 2025, as the re-arranged Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is set for Goodison Park.

Arne Slot will be hoping for an instant response from his side on Wednesday, as their dreams of a quadruple were ended in stunning fashion following an FA Cup defeat to Championship outfit Plymouth.

However, the Reds could move nine points clear with a win over their cross-city rivals this week. Everton arrive into this match in good form after wins in their last three in the Premier League. A passionate home support will be in attendance for the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Odds

Toffees Chasing Successive Home Wins Over Reds

Everton will be chasing history this week, as they look to record successive wins against Liverpool for the first time since 1984-85. Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park last season ended a 12-game unbeaten away run against the Toffees.
