Everton will look to add to Liverpool’s misery when the two local rivals meet at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time on Sunday in the Premier League.

Everton v Liverpool Bet Builder
Toffees frontman to build on recent form
Everton have not had much joy in recent Merseyside derbies, but they appear to be going up against struggling Liverpool at the best possible time.
Striker Beto has three goals in his last two outings and he has good memories of playing Liverpool, having scored in the final Goodison Park derby in February 2025.
Liverpool have only kept one clean sheet in their last five and they will do well to silence Beto in his current form.
Leg 1: Anytime goalscorer – Beto @ 2/1
Tight battle expected in first Hill Dickinson derby
There have been at least three goals in two of the last three Merseyside derbies but this Sunday’s game could be a more cagey affair.
Going further back, seven of the last 10 games between the rivals have contained under 2.5 goals and Liverpool have lost Hugo Ekitike for the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury, which only improves the chance of a low-scoring affair.
Liverpool have not scored more than one goal in any of their last four away matches, while Everton have kept back-to-back clean sheets so goals could be at a premium on Sunday.
Leg 2: Under 2.5 goals @ 7/8
Everton will be desperate to win the first ever derby at their new home and are on a roll at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, beating Burnley 2-0 and Chelsea 3-0 in their last two matches at the stunning venue.
Liverpool are likely to be low on confidence after another disappointing result on Tuesday and the Reds, who have lost four of their last five in all competitions, look vulnerable.
Everton have had a free midweek to prepare for the derby and look set to avoid defeat.
Leg 3: Everton double chance @ 8/13
