Everton's equivalent sample is a bit more mixed, with eight wins, six draws and six losses. Their goals scored and conceded are both lower than Liverpool's, suggesting tighter, lower-scoring games have been more the norm for them lately.
Liverpool look the sharper going forward, but both teams' recent samples include friendlies and cup ties alongside league football, so treat the raw numbers as a general guide rather than a precise read on league form.

How recent meetings have gone

Going further back the head-to-head record shows plenty of Liverpool wins too, though a run of history like this doesn't tell us much about how either side will turn up on the day.
Where they sit early on
Liverpool currently sit fifth with twelve points from seven matches, while Everton are eighth on ten points from the same number of games. It's an early-season snapshot rather than anything settled, but Liverpool have turned a few more of their matches into wins so far.

Players making an impact
Alexander Isak has been among the goals for Liverpool, netting four in his last five appearances, while Cody Gakpo has chipped in with three assists over the same stretch. That suggests Liverpool's attack has had different sources of threat recently.
On the disciplinary side, Everton's James Garner and Liverpool's Milos Kerkez have both picked up two yellow cards in their last five matches. That's worth knowing without reading too much into who might or might not be available.

With no market attached to this preview, we're not making a selection here. The evidence points to Liverpool as the team with more attacking threat and recent head-to-head success, but Everton's defensive solidity in their own sample keeps things interesting.
If a market opens up closer to kickoff, it'll be worth weighing Liverpool's attacking form against how tight Everton have kept things defensively before leaning either way.
