Premier League: Liverpool vs. Everton Picks — Reds Aiming to Close in on Title (Apr 2)

The second Merseyside Derby of the 2024-25 season is set for Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

Liverpool’s season has unravelled since winning three on the bounce in the Premier League, as they were dumped out of the Champions League by PSG and lost the EFL Cup final against Newcastle.

However, this would be a perfect occasion to bounce back to winning ways.

Everton have been extremely difficult to beat since David Moyes returned to the club, and they have played out draws in their last four.

Liverpool vs. Everton Picks

Something has changed at Liverpool in recent weeks, as a cloud has taken shape around the club. Things haven’t eased following the news that Alexander-Arnold will leave on a free in the summer.

Everton have been very challenging to beat in recent months, and that could ensure that this is another uncomfortable evening for the runaway leaders.
