- Everton have been solid defensively, conceding just four goals in their last seven games.
- However, they have struggled in front of goal, scoring only once in their last three matches.
- Key players: Jordan Pickford, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Dwight McNeil
- Absentees: Seamus Coleman (injured), James Garner (injured), Armando Broja (doubtful)

Tactical Preview
Everton are expected to employ an aggressive, high-pressing style under Dyche, looking to disrupt Liverpool's build-up play. Liverpool, on the other hand, will aim to control possession and utilise their attacking prowess to break down the Everton defence.
Summary and Key Takeaways
Everton's defensive solidity under Dyche will be a key factor, but Liverpool's attacking quality and recent away form make them favourites. The availability of key players and tactical adaptability of both managers could be decisive.
