Stats for this game
Matchup Liverpool VS Everton
Local rivalry, shifting control
Liverpool and Everton share a city, so the Merseyside derby carries meaning that goes beyond league position. Everton won 2–0 at Goodison Park on 24 April 2024, but the teams drew 2–2 there on 12 February 2025 before Liverpool won 2–1 at Anfield on 20 September 2025. Liverpool then edged a 2–1 result at Hill Dickinson Stadium on 19 April 2026. Those dated meetings show Liverpool’s broader weight alongside Everton’s ability to make the derby uncomfortable and emotionally charged.
Venue changes the texture
Goodison Park gave Everton a familiar platform for duels and direct pressure, while Anfield lets Liverpool use sustained possession and crowd intensity to pin the visitors back. The move to Hill Dickinson Stadium for the April 2026 meeting added a new setting to the derby’s story without changing its central demand: composure under local pressure. A future meeting will ask whether Everton can turn defensive resistance into another home statement or whether Liverpool can make control travel. That tension is the derby’s lasting appeal.
