Liverpool team overview
Liverpool had a fantastic last season, winning the title in the first year under coach Arne Slot. Over the summer, they appear to have strengthened even further, and the recent signing of Alexander Isak could be the final piece that makes them even more formidable.
This season, the Reds picked up where they left off last season. Yes, they lost the Community Shield at the start of the season, but then won four Premier League games in a row and also won the first Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.
After a 3:2 win over Atletico Madrid, coach Arne Slot spoke to the media. He said there is frustration with letting Atletico back in the game. Still, the coach praised the squad for their strong mentality and the team's fitness. Slot noted they had the ability to "push" in the last moments of the game, which eventually led them to victory.

Everton team overview
Everton are one of the few teams from the Premier League that have played all 34 seasons since it was founded (this format) in 1992/93. However, they were constantly in the lower part of the league's table in the previous four years. This time, the popular Toffees are doing a better job as they sit in sixth place with seven points out of the first four rounds.
After a goalless draw with Aston Villa, coach David Moyes said they were a better team and expressed frustration that they couldn't secure a victory. Still, he was very satisfied with his team's performance.

Prediction
While Liverpool had some questionable defensive performances this season, we believe they are getting better in that department, as they kept a clean sheet in the last two Premier League games. We are convinced they will only get better as time passes.
Meanwhile, Everton have been fantastic for this bet as they went under 3.5 goals in four out of five games across the competition. They are also a very good defensive team, which have kept their net intact in three out of five matches thus far.
Additionally, we rarely see high-scoring games in the Merseyside derby. In the last seven H2H games, they were only once over the 3.5 goal line.
Considering the trend in the previous H2H games, both teams' excellent defensive performances, and all the above, we believe that an under 3.5 goals bet is the safest option for the 247th Merseyside derby.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than four goals
- Liverpool won the last two PL games 1:0 vs Arsenal and Burnley
- Everton went under 3.5 goals in four out of five games across the competitions
- Six of the last seven H2H games ended with fewer than four goals
Main prediction Liverpool - Everton
Under 3.5 goals
