Can the Reds bounce back from a WSL defeat to the champions? We look ahead to Sunday’s Merseyside derby at Anfield with our Liverpool vs Everton prediction and preview.
Liverpool vs Everton: The Key Stats
According to the Opta supercomputer, Liverpool are favourites to claim Merseyside derby bragging rights, winning 44.0% of the 10,000 simulations. Everton have won their last five WSL games at Liverpool, their joint-longest winning run away to an opponent in the competition. Liverpool were 3-2 winners against Everton in March, so they could win consecutive Merseyside derbies in the WSL for the first time since a run of three across 2013 and 2014.Anfield will welcome Gareth Taylor’s Liverpool with plenty of excitement and anticipation for Sunday’s Merseyside derby with Everton on Sunday, particularly after they pushed champions Manchester City to the limit last weekend.
The Reds head into the derby with one win from their opening three Women’s Super League games, but the results don’t tell the full story of their start to the new campaign.
There have already been encouraging signs of the more ambitious and attacking side Taylor is trying to build, with the biggest transformation coming in attack.
Liverpool have already scored seven times in the WSL this season, more than they managed across their opening 10 matches last term (six). Excluding the 2017 Spring Series, it is their best goal tally after three games of a WSL campaign.

1 day ago Maya ShahEverton sit just above their neighbours after taking six points from their opening three matches, but the league table masks an extraordinary start in front of goal.
The Toffees have taken 41 shots and generated 2.9 xG, though they are yet to see one of their own players score this season.
Both of Everton’s victories have come courtesy of own goals, making them the first team in WSL history to win two matches 1-0 via an own goal in the same season.
Their victory over Charlton was particularly remarkable. Everton attempted 13 shots without registering a single effort on target, and yet they still walked away with the win.
Everton are only the second team in WSL history to score fewer than three goals across their opening three matches of a season and still collect as many as six points, after Sunderland in 2017-18. It is also the Toffees’ best points return at this stage of a campaign since 2022-23 (also W2 L1).
It creates a fascinating contrast at Anfield, with Liverpool’s seven goals coming from 5.0 xG.
