Recent respective form guides

Everton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Toffees have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Everton's 7 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Liverpool sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 11 points from their 5 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Toffees at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Reds come away with an easy victory. Away win
