Robbie Savage anticipates a competitive match when Liverpool and Everton square off in the Merseyside derby on Saturday (October 21), and he supports Jurgen Klopp’s team to win. A controversial 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur is the only blemish on the Reds’ otherwise stellar record as they prepare to face the Toffees at Anfield. With five wins in eight contests, Klopp’s team is fourth in the league.
Despite expecting tempers to flare and someone to be sent off, Savage has backed Liverpool to defeat their Merseyside rivals. He said, “69 draws in 208 meetings between these two teams makes this matchup the most drawn in Premier League history. But I don’t believe this match will end in a tie. At Anfield, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo scored in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Everton last year.
At Goodison Park, Sean Dyche’s team managed to surprise everyone by drawing 0-0. However, the Toffees’ 2023–24 season has gotten off to a disappointing start as they currently sit in 16th place in the league. They have dropped five of their last eight games and might be in for another relegation fight.
