Team Analysis
A high-spirited encounter is foreseen at Goodison Park this Wednesday evening as Everton and Liverpool square off in a major Merseyside derby in the deferred match of Matchday No 29. Apart from town bragging rights, both teams have substantial factors driving their pursuit of victory in this game.

Liverpool have secured four victories and one draw in their last five Merseyside derbies. They are fervently contending for the title post a 3-1 win against Craven Cottage this past Sunday afternoon. Mohamed Salah, who was rested during the weekend, is anticipated to be back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's match.

Meanwhile, Everton successfully secured a significant 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in a critical relegation contest this Sunday afternoon, also held at Goodison. Despite facing several dangerous situations towards the end of the first half, the Toffees triumphed while maintaining a clean sheet. Sean Dyche’s men are now five points ahead of Luton Town in the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head
Liverpool's team upheld a 2-0 victory in the reverse match at Anfield in October last year. Heading into this match, they boast a history of four victories and a draw in their last five clashes against Everton. Interestingly, the Toffees have not been able to score in any of their last four Merseyside derbies.

Odds Analysis
Even though Everton has only lost one of their previous five home games in the Premier League, and despite consecutive home victories over direct relegation adversaries Burnley and Nottingham Forest, they endured a sharp 0-6 defeat against Chelsea between these wins. They are now braced for a challenging encounter against title hopefuls who cannot afford a slip-up on Wednesday.

Liverpool only have the Premier League matches to concentrate on due to their recent elimination from the Europa League by Atalanta last week. They have historically been dominant in this matchup and enter this match with a record of four wins and a draw from their last five Everton clashes.

Liverpool’s quality appears superior, and it is expected that they will control the match from kick-off to the final whistle on Wednesday evening. The main prediction is that Liverpool will maintain the lead from the half-time and triumph at the end with the odds at 2.20.

Alsion is another prediction with the odds at 2.00 offered for Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King, to score at any point of time in the match. Rested during the weekend, Salah, who is the top scorer for his team with 17 goals this season, only played the last 25 minutes at Craven Cottage. Considering that Everton conceded six goals just a week ago in a match with Chelsea, Salah's odds look promising.
