On Wednesday afternoon, Liverpool (8 wins, 1 loss, 4 draws) travels to Goodison Park to take on Everton (4-6-3). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.
Liverpool is coming into this match with the best attack in the EPL, and it’s not even close. The Reds have tallied 39 goals in 13 matches while the next closest, Chelsea, has netted just 31.
Liverpool is sitting in 3rd on the table with 28 points. The attacking prowess is led by F Mohamed Salah who paces the Premier League with 11 goals.
M Roberto Firmino will be sidelined for Liverpool Wednesday but that won’t be quite as important as the absence of Everton’s M Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Calvert-Lewin is one of three Everton players with 3 goals, the most on the team. He’ll be one of many sidelined for the home side. Everton is sitting 14th on the table and has scored 16 goals on the season while allowing 20.

Liverpool 3, Everton 1
Money line (ML)
PASS on the money line.
Liverpool at -250 as an away side is a little too pricey for me, although it becomes playable if the line drops to -200.
A better play is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-130). Liverpool’s defense is among the best in the league, but it’s given up an average of 1.25 goals per game over the Reds’ last 4 EPL matches.
F Demarai Gray, one of the other Everton players with 3 goals, did return to action against Brentford and could have a positive impact here.
Everton averages over a goal per game, so getting one at home wouldn’t be too unthinkable. It’s worth a wager at -130.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 3.5 (+135). While it seems outrageous to bet on over 3 goals, that’s about Liverpool’s average.
The Reds have scored 3 goals per game behind an elite attacking trio and they give up almost one per game. Their games have insanely topped 3 goals in eight straight Premier League matches and have topped 4 total goals in four of them.
The attacking prowess is real, and it forces other teams to up their pace. I’m certainly not betting against goals when Liverpool is on the pitch.
