The first Merseyside Derby of the season takes place this weekend, and history suggests the odds are stacked firmly in Liverpool’s favour. Here are some key stats and storylines ahead of the clash at Anfield.

🔴 Fortress Anfield

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 28 home games against Everton in all competitions (W17 D10). The Reds have won each of the last four in a row since Everton’s 2-0 victory in February 2021.

  • If Liverpool win again this weekend, it’ll be the first time since the 1930s they’ve managed five straight home wins against their city rivals.

🔵 Everton’s Derby Struggles

The Toffees have won just two of their last 29 Premier League derbies (D14 L13). More worrying for Sean Dyche’s men, Everton have failed to score in five of their last seven against Liverpool.

🟥 Red Card Chaos

No Premier League fixture has produced more red cards than Everton vs Liverpool (25 in total).

  • Under David Moyes alone, Everton saw 11 red cards in 24 games against Liverpool — the most for one manager in a single fixture.
  • Remarkably, in his 15 league games against Liverpool with other clubs, Moyes’ sides have only received one red card.

⚡ Liverpool’s Flying Start

With four wins from four, Liverpool are aiming for a perfect start to the season. Victory would mean:

  • Winning their opening five Premier League games for just the third time (after 2018-19 and 2019-20).
  • Recording three straight clean sheets in the league for the first time since September 2024.

🏟️ What to Expect

Liverpool arrive in form but have been reliant on late goals this season. Everton, meanwhile, are strong starters but often fade as games wear on. Given the derby’s history of drama — especially stoppage-time drama — this weekend’s clash could be decided in the final moments once again.
