Chris Sutton predicts a 2-0 win for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby vs Everton
All of the last three Merseyside Derbies at Anfield have ended in a 2-0 scoreline, twice with Liverpool winning and Everton winning once. The upcoming fixture between the sides this Saturday promises nothing but a win for Jurgen Klopp’s men judging on current form.
The Toffees have lost five games in the Premier League this season and Sean Dyche does not seem to have things going his way. Liverpool on the other hand, have only lost one game in the entirety of the campaign, and that too under shady circumstances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this month.
BBC Pundit Chris Sutton also thinks that the result will swing in the favour of the home side. A hostile atmosphere at Anfield can make it tough for any visiting side, let alone a struggling Everton team that has only seven points from eight games in the league this season.
Speaking live to the BBC, here is what Sutton had to say about the 12:30 KO on Saturday:
“Liverpool have beaten Everton by two goals at Anfield in each of the past two seasons, so I am going to go with that same scoreline. I would have gone with a goal for Everton but my daughter is telling me 2-0 again, so I am going to listen to her.”
Cody Gakpo, who played a pivotal role in the previous Merseyside Derby, could once again be a key figure in this clash following his return from an injury layoff. His performances have earned him a place in Liverpool’s history against Everton, and fans will be hoping for a repeat of that success.
Merseyside Derby!
As the Merseyside Derby approaches, fans can’t help but be excited about the prospect of a thrilling clash. The historical scorelines, Liverpool’s impressive form, and the passionate Anfield crowd all point toward a favourable outcome for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Only time will tell whether Chris Sutton’s prediction holds true, but the stage is set for an exciting and eventful showdown.
