Liverpool will be looking to get their Premier League form back on track on Tuesday evening when they host local rivals Everton at Anfield as William Hill’s odds of 4/1 are sure to attract plenty of interest from punters.
Kenny Dalglish’s men have lost their last three Premier League games to leave them 7th in the table, a significant ten points adrift of Arsenal in 4th position. Quite simply, it is a run they have to end.
There is no doubt that the Reds will be delighted with progression in the FA Cup and success in the Carling Cup, but they also need to secure as high a position as possible.
Only four points sit between them and 14th position too, so things could get worse for Liverpool if they don’t up their game in the league. It is unthinkable for a team like Liverpool to slip into the bottom half, but it could very easily happen.

A game against Everton is perhaps the chance for them to get back on track. If they secure their second win of the season over the Toffees, they will perhaps go from strength to strength in the remainder of the campaign.
Everton are in good form though and they will travel to Anfield full of confidence. David Moyes’ men – who defeated Tottenham last time out – are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions with a win on Tuesday enough to take them above Liverpool.
Looking at the team news for this one, Steven Gerrard is set to return to the starting line-up for Liverpool, although Glen Johnson and Daniel Agger are set to miss out. For Everton, Steven Pienaar should come back in after missing the win over parent club Tottenham.
As ever, this is expected to be a lively affair in the 217th derby match between these two teams at Anfield. With 20 red cards, this fixture has seen more red cards than any other in the Premier League.
Another statistic to note is that Everton have won just one of the last 10 Premier League matches between these two with three ending all square.
Overall, this is set to be an extremely entertaining encounter. Liverpool will naturally attack as they search a return to form, while Everton will enjoy the decreased pressure of being the away side.
This one gets underway at 8pm on Tuesday evening.
