Kick-off: 7.30pm UK Time, Wednesday 12th February 2025

Having been delayed due to Storm Darragh, Everton’s meeting with arch-rivals Liverpool gets underway tonight with the Reds eager to extend their lead at the summit of the Premier League table.

Final Merseyside derby

Liverpool enjoy a six point lead at the top of the Premier League table and Arne Slot’s troops will look to extend this to nine points when they make the short journey across town to Goodison Park this evening. This will be the final Merseyside derby match as this iconic venue with the Toffees set to move to their new home in time for the 2025/26 campaign and clearly the home side will be eager to sign-off with a win here.

Big impact

The home side are now nine points clear of the relegation zone, David Moyes having had a big impact since his return to Everton with back-to-back wins over Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton and Leicester City. Indeed, Moyes has triumphed in as many Premier League games in four outings than previous boss Sean Dyche achieved in 19, however the final cup game at Goodison ended in disappointment as AFC Bournemouth claimed the spoils on Saturday.

Team News:

Everton: Left-back Vitalii Mykolenko has returned to training and may feature in the lineup. New signing Carlos Alcaraz is pushing for his first start after an impressive substitute appearance against Bournemouth at the weekend. Nevertheless, Nathan Patterson, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman, and Dwight McNeil remain sidelined due to injuries.
Liverpool: Manager Arne Slot is expected to recall key players who were rested during the shock FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are anticipated to return to the starting lineup. Joe Gomez is unavailable due to injury, but Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from a minor knock and is likely to feature.

Emotionally charged

Given Liverpool’s impressive league form and tactical innovations, they are favoured to secure a victory in this final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Nevertheless, Everton’s recent resurgence and the emotional significance of the final derby at this iconic venue could inspire a spirited performance from the hosts. A closely contested match is anticipated, however Everton will be emotionally charged for this clash and we envisage the home side continuing their resurgence with a win here.
