Everton vs Liverpool bet builder tips: Salah features in 11/2 shot

There are three selections in our 11/2 bet builder for Saturday lunchtime’s Premier League match between Everton and Liverpool (12.30pm kick-off).

Everton vs Liverpool bet-builder tips

Bet builder tip 1: Liverpool to win

The Reds have generally been incredible so far this season and sit top of the division heading into this Merseyside derby.

A frenetic contest is to be expected at Goodison Park with the Toffees faithful buoyed by a 4-0 midweek win over Wolves.

But it is hard to look past a victory for Liverpool, who have lost only once this season and remain unbeaten away from home, with forward Mohamed Salah particularly impressive.

Everton have won just three of their 14 Premier League matches this term and did capitulate against Manchester United last weekend, going down 4-0.

We expect the visitors – perhaps somewhat smarting after conceding a late equaliser at Newcastle United in midweek – to have the bulk of the play at Goodison and to emerge from this derby clash with another three points.

Bet builder tip 2: Mohamed Salah to score anytime

Egypt international Mohamed Salah has been simply sensational for Liverpool this season, continuing to prove why he is currently one of the very best players in world football.

He has scored 13 in 14 Premier League matches, as well as providing eight assists, and we are backing him to be at the centre of the action at Everton.

Salah has netted seven times for the Reds against the Toffees, including both goals in the 2-0 win at Anfield in 2023-24. 

We are backing the 32-year-old to continue his quite remarkable form this campaign by adding to his tally at Goodison.

Bet builder tip 3: Ashley Young to be carded

Thirty-nine-year-old Ashley Young, who remains a frequent pick for Everton, again managed to turn back the clock in midweek to open the scoring against Wolves. The full back executed an exquisite free kick that curled around the wall into the bottom corner of the net.

But the veteran, capped 39 times for England, has picked up three yellow cards in the Premier League already this term, and the Liverpool game is bound to be a tough test for the former Aston Villa and Manchester United man.

He was sent off earlier in the campaign against Brighton & Hove Albion, and also got his marching orders away at Anfield last season.

Young will be up against the pace of Luis Diaz, whose trickery caused the defender all sorts of problems last term, and we expect more torment like that again.
