Liverpool and Everton face off tonight in the final Merseyside derby of the season as the Premier League title favourites look to return to winning ways after losing in the Carabao Cup final.
The Reds spent the recent international break licking their wounds after crashing out of the Champions League on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain and then losing 2-1 to Newcastle United in the League Cup final in a miserable five-day run.
Those two losses were the club’s first in over a month, the most recent defeat beforehand being the 0-1 FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle.
The reverse fixture, a 2-2 draw and the last Merseyside derby to ever be played at Goodison Park, made for a fine send-off for the ‘Grand Old Lady,’ as James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute volley sent the Blues into rapture.
Their form is remarkably middle-of-the-road, coming into the fixture with four consecutive draws to Manchester United, Brentford, Wolves, and West Ham, but they will face an uphill battle to add a tally to the ‘win’ column on Wednesday.

Liverpool vs Everton prediction
Wednesday’s result will come down to how quickly Liverpool can recover from the funk that came with a cup final defeat and Champions League elimination - and Everton will be more than willing to add to the misery.
That said, Liverpool will be keen for revenge after having a Goodison win snatched from them last time out and could take advantage of Everton’s injury-hit squad.
