The first Merseyside derby of the Premier League season is here for 2025/26, with both Liverpool and Everton looking to build on a good start.

Liverpool play host at Anfield, welcoming their local rivals with a perfect record in the Premier League so far.

The Reds have won all four games, though there are some concerns surrounding how Arne Slot has managed that.

Late goals galore so far have brought the Merseyside outfit their 12 points, but there is some hope that they will improve and win more convincingly.

It doesn’t get any easier for Liverpool, though, as Everton look to end their perfect run.

David Moyes has had an immediate impact so far this season, as his new-look team has brought some much-needed excitement for the Toffees.

So, with another exciting Merseyside derby in store, here’s a look at everything you need to know about the match.

Liverpool injury news and team updates

Liverpool have a relatively clean bill of health, with Curtis Jones the only doubt in the team so far in terms of injuries.

Everton team news and injury updates

There are two main injury concerns for Everton, heading into the Merseyside derby.

Jarrad Branthwaite has been out since the start of the season and looks likely to miss out again, but he is eyeing a return in the near future.

Vitalii Mykolenko has been out of action recently too, but could make a return in the big clash with Liverpool.

Merseyside derby head-to-head record

There have been nearly 300 meetings between Liverpool and Everton over the years across all competitions.

Liverpool have the upper hand, and by some distance, but Everton will be looking to close the gap.

Last season saw a dramatic 2-2 draw in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, before a close 1-0 win for Liverpool at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Everton prediction

Liverpool have been far from their fluid best, and Everton have an attacking verve that hasn’t been seen in quite some time.

With that in mind, this could be set up as the closest Merseyside derby for quite some time.

Liverpool’s home advantage may give them a slight edge, while they have plenty of attacking talent in their ranks.

Whether they can keep Everton out is another thing, but expect another tight match between two teams with so much on the line.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Everton.
