GOAL looks ahead to the 247th Merseyside Derby as defending champions Liverpool host local rivals Everton on Saturday.

Friends and families will be split on the Merseyside for the 247th time when Everton takes a short trip to Anfield to meet Premier League leaders and defending champions Liverpool for yet another thrilling instalment in the exciting Merseyside Derby. As the old cliché goes, form gets tossed out of the window when fierce rivals lock horns, so brace yourselves for another Premier League classic this Saturday.

Arne Slot's men couldn't stop winning at the moment. They started the midweek Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid on fire but still banked on a later winner to clinch all three points. The game was all about the much-awaited Alexander Isak debut from the off, and the British record signing did look sharp in the outing he got. The Reds showed great improvement after a hard-fought victory against Burnley on the weekend. They might feel that the pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together as they prepare for a key stretch of games coming thick and fast.

Everton would be the first to visit them, and the Toffees are hoping for a rare Anfield victory. Their last victory at their rivals' den was in 2021, when the stands were covered with banners and fake crowd noises were in full tune. After getting their nose bloodied on the first gameweek, David Moyes' side recovered brilliantly to win two games next and sit sixth in the table before visiting Anfield. Moyes would be keen to shake off his terrible away record against Liverpool and cause a massive upset on the weekend. Jack Grealish, on the back of hisfirst career Player of the Month award, would be expected to spearhead the Toffees' chances.

Liverpool team news

Arne Slot made plenty of changes to the starting lineup against Atletico Madrid and would probably tinker with his XI again when Everton visits. Isak might drop to the bench for Hugo Ekitike as he builds his fitness.
Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez might return as fullbacks ahead of Jeremie Frimpong and Andrew Robertson. Dominik Szoboszlai can get a rest after playing nonstop since the season began, as Alexis Mac Allister is ready to increase his load.
Slot confirmed Curtis Jones will be fit for the Merseyside Derby, giving him another option to consider against a tricky opposition, leaving Stefan Bajcetic as the only absentee.
Probable lineup: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike

Everton team news

Moyes will be tempted to start his star centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite as he returns to team training from an injury. Vitalii Mykolenko is also another one to keep an eye out for as he returns to the fold.
The midfield could be in for a shake-up as Tyler Dibling patiently awaits his first start in Blue.
Grealish's chemistry with Beto might force Thierno Barry to take up the role of a super-sub and exploit the tired legs with his pace in the second half.
Probable lineup: Pickford; Keane, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto

Odds & Predictions

The two teams head into the clash in great form for the first time in a while. Despite Liverpool's impressive form, Everton does have the tools to hurt them. The bookmakers priced Liverpool's win at 2/5 and Everton's win at 5/1. However, we believe a draw that is priced at 3/1 to be the best result given the magnitude of the game.

Frequently asked questions

Buying Arsenal tickets directly from the club is notoriously difficult, as they rarely ever go on sale to non-members. Arsenal switched to a ballot system in 2022, so there is no traditional sales period in which tickets can sell out quickly. Members have to enter a ballot, which opens around 6-8 weeks before a match and remains open for around 4 days, if hoping to purchase Arsenal match tickets. These are almost always over-subscribed, so is a lottery with low odds. During the 2024/25 season, the average success rate for ordinary Red Members in the ballots was just 9%.

Yes, in addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels.

Yes, Arsenal hospitality packages are also a great way for non-members to secure match seats. They tend to sell out slower than tickets on the primary and secondary markets, so can be a good choice when other options are limited.

A football hospitality package is likely to offer you exclusive views of the match, comfortable seats, food and drink before and during the match and a dedicated host. If you have a special occasion, such as a birthday, coming up, it'll make a brilliant day out and one that will live long in the memory.

As well as ensuring fans have an extraordinary experience, rather than just an ordinary one, football hospitality packages also provide a solution for securing tickets, you would otherwise miss out on. If tickets for a match are likely to sell out, some might be tempted to avoid the hassle of hitting the secondary/reselling market and go straight for the hospitality option. You also won’t need to be a club member to purchase hospitality packages.

The occasion can also influence the perceived value of hospitality tickets. Special events such as derby matches or huge European encounters may justify the splurge, as they offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history in the making from the comfort of a VIP suite.
