LIVERPOOL v EVERTON: BIG MATCH FACTS

-

zLiverpool have lost just one of their last 22 Premier League games against Everton (W9 D12), although it did come in this exact fixture last season. zEverton won this game 2-0 last season, ending a 20-game winless away run against Liverpool in the Prem (D9 L11). But they have not won consecutiv­e league visits to Anfield since 1986. zLiverpool are looking to complete the league double over Everton for just the second time in the past 10 seasons, previously doing so in this run in 2016-17. zNo Prem fixture has finished as a draw more often than Everton v Liverpool (24), while the Merseyside derby has seen the most red cards (22) and most 90th-minute winners (five) in the competitio­n’s history. zAfter winning 14 consecutiv­e home league games on Sundays between November 2018 and December 2020, Liverpool have won just two of their last seven at Anfield on this day (D3 L2). zEverton have won fewer away points than any other side in the Prem this season, while Liverpool have won the most home points so far this term. zEverton have lost 10 of their last 11 league away games (D1), including each of the last six in a row. It’s their longest run of consecutiv­e away defeats since a run of eight between April and October 1994. zMohamed Salah scored twice in Liverpool’s 4-1 win against Everton in the reverse fixture this season. The last Reds player to score two-plus goals in both league meetings with the Toffees in a term was Dick Forshaw, 1925-26 (three home, two away). zLiverpool’s Divock Origi (below) has scored more Premier League goals against Everton than he has versus any other side (five). Three of his five league goals against the Toffees have proven to be the winning goal of the game.
