The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in the Premier League era is set to be an emotional and intense battle with Liverpool, who are winless in their last two trips to Goodison Park, needing a win to further secure the title.

Everton, in strong league form under David Moyes, will look to frustrate Liverpool, who are chasing crucial points in the title race.

Liverpool aim to bounce back from a shocking FA Cup exit, while Everton, buoyed by three straight league wins, seeks a historic back-to-back derby victory for the first time in 40 years.

🔵Everton Look to Continue Resurgence in Derby⚔️| Home Win = 6.40💵

Everton have found a new lease of life under Moyes, winning three consecutive league games and moving nine points of the relegation zone. Their attacking form has improved, scoring eight goals in those three victories.

However, their record against teams starting the day top of the table is poor, with only four wins in their last 47 such encounters. The Toffees must overcome history and find a way to secure a rare derby triumph in a game that was supposed to take place long ago.

🔴Liverpool Eye Top Spot Push🫸 | Away Win = 1.47💵

Liverpool arrive at Goodison needing a response after a humiliating FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle. Despite that setback, they remain 19 games unbeaten in the Premier League and are the outright favourites for the title.

Arne Slot’s men will know that victory here extends their lead over Arsenal to nine points, making this a crucial match. With just two wins in their last 12 trips to Goodison, the Reds must be at their best to take all three points.

🔑Key Players & Team News📰:

Everton may welcome back Vitalii Mykolenko from injury, while Jack Harrison could start after an impressive substitute appearance last weekend. Beto will lead the attack in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja.

Liverpool is expected to make wholesale changes from their FA Cup defeat, with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk all set to return. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold remains sidelined, denying Slot’s team of his creativity.

Manchester United’s former interim manager, Van Nistelrooy, goes back to the Old Trafford with Leicester City, his current side when they clash with Amorim’s side in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, February 7.

United aim to bounce back from their worst home league form in 131 years, while Leicester seek to avoid an eighth defeat in ten matches.

🔴Man United Eye Some FA Cup Joy at Home | Home Win = 1.34💵

United have endured a nightmare run at Old Trafford, losing five of their last seven home league games. However, they have a strong FA Cup record, unbeaten in 18 ties at home in regular time since 2015.

Despite their league struggles, the Red Devils have already beaten Leicester twice this season, winning 5-2 and 3-0 in the EFL Cup and Premier League respectively. Amorim will demand a response from his side, knowing FA Cup success could salvage their season.

🔵Leicester Look to Upset Old Trafford Odds | Away Win = 7.58💵

Leicester’s form has collapsed, suffering eight defeats in their last nine games, including a 4-0 hammering at Everton last weekend. Van Nistelrooy’s men sit in the Premier League relegation zone, and confidence is at an all-time low.

The Foxes did, however, eliminate United from the FA Cup in 2021 en route to winning the trophy. They will hope to channel that same spirit against the defending champions, despite their current struggles, as they attempt to cause an upset at Old Trafford.

🔑Key Players & Team News📰:

United are without Lisandro Martinez (ACL), Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, and Mason Mount, while Marcus Rashford has departed the club. New signing Patrick Dorgu could debut, and Altay Bayindir will likely start in goal after his third-round heroics against Arsenal.

Leicester welcomes back Mads Hermansen in goal but remains without Ricardo Pereira and Abdul Fatawu. Wilfred Ndidi is nearing a return, while Facundo Buonanotte and Stephy Mavididi could start to inject attacking firepower.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 5.54💵

⚽United have not lost any of their last 18 FA Cup home ties in regular time. They’ve already beaten Leicester twice this season (5-2, 3-0) and could defeat them three times at Old Trafford for the first time in history. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 1.70

⚽Leicester City eliminated Man United from the FA Cup in 2021 when they lifted it, and they would hope they could repeat it against a United team experiencing their worst home form in 131 years. | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 2.5 = 6.60

Both teams are desperate for a result, but with United’s home FA Cup record and Leicester’s poor form, the hosts will be favoured to progress to the next round.
