Liverpool face Everton on Saturday in the Merseyside derby.

This could be a real cracker of a match as both teams head into this game in decent form.

Liverpool have won all of their matches so far this season, but they have consistently had to rely on late goals in order to get over the line.

Meanwhile, Jack Grealish has been a revelation for Everton, and he’s helped the Toffees to a bright start.

As ever, form can go out of the window for derby games, and these matches can be very tough to predict.

Speaking on his TikTok channel, Troy Deeney has been previewing this match, and he’s made a prediction about how this game will go.

Troy Deeney predicts Merseyside derby

Deeney shared his verdict on how this game will pan out.

The pundit says this will be a tight match after Liverpool were in midweek Champions League action.

However, ultimately,  Deeney still thinks the Reds will come away with a win here, backing a 2-0 home victory.

“Liverpool vs Everton. I think this will be a tight game. Everton will come and try to shut up shop and hit on the counter attack,” Deeney said.

“Liverpool, after a Champions League game, three games in a week, I expect a close game, I’m going to go 2-0 to Liverpool.”

Liverpool’s recent results vs Everton

Liverpool have been some way ahead of Everton on the pitch for some time now.

Indeed, while the Toffees have been no strangers to relegation battles in recent years, Liverpool have been winning major trophies.

Liverpool have been way ahead of Everton in terms of league standings. However, the Merseyside derby has perhaps been closer than many realise.

Liverpool have only won 5 of their last 10 meetings against Everton, and with a 50% win rate, this game truly could go either way.

Arne Slot’s side aren’t at their very best right now, and if Everton show up with real intensity, they could catch their rivals cold and get a result here.
