Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield on Wednesday evening as both sides are on opposite sides of the form scale at the moment. Everton boss Roberto Martinez is under immense pressure from his fan base for poor results in the league while Jurgen Klopp is idolised by Kopites all over after guiding his side to the semi-final of the Europa League. The contrast in fortunes of the clubs should make for a heated Merseyside derby.
For Everton, Phil Jagielka and Seamus Coleman are both out with hamstring injuries. Ross Barkley should return to the starting XI after being rested.
The Toffees have failed to win in their last five visits to Anfield in the league. In fact their last win at Anfield was back in 1999.
I haven't had a bet on Liverpool in a while because I'm a poor student but my loan went in this weekend so I'm sure I can spare a couple of quid! Haha.
I've had my eye on a Daniel Sturridge and Liverpool 2-1 win scorecast at 25/1. I'll probably also pop a quid on one of the defenders to score because the odds are better and you never know what could happen in a Merseyside derby.
If you think the game is going to end in yet another draw 1-1 is priced at 13/1 while 2-2 is down at 12/1.
Enjoy the match folks, wherever you are watching!
