Liverpool vs Everton – Premier League Showdown at Anfield (20 Sept 2025) | Lineups – Head-to-Head – Match Preview


The Merseyside Derby remains one of the fiercest and longest-standing rivalries in English football. On 20 September 2025, Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield for a high-stakes Premier League encounter, kicking off at 11:30 UTC.

Liverpool’s position: 1st in the Premier League

Everton’s position: 6th in the Premier League

This isn’t just a battle for three points—it’s about local pride, history, and momentum.

Head-to-Head (Last 20 Meetings)

Liverpool wins: 16

Everton wins: 3

Draws: 14

Liverpool have dominated recent derbies, though Everton stunned them with their 2021 Anfield victory.

Form Guide (Last 5 Games)

Liverpool: W – W – W – D – W

Everton: W – D – W – L – W

The Reds’ unbeaten run underlines their title push, while Everton’s mixed results show they can be unpredictable.

Key Battles to Watch

Mohamed Salah vs Everton’s left-back replacement: Salah’s pace and lethal finishing could punish a weakened flank.

Dominik Szoboszlai vs Amadou Onana: A contest of flair and vision against strength and ball-winning.

Virgil van Dijk vs Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Aerial dominance that could tip set-piece duels.

Predicted XIs

Liverpool (4-3-3):
Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson – Szoboszlai, Endo, Elliott – Salah, Núñez, Díaz

Everton (4-4-2):
Pickford – Patterson, Tarkowski, Keane, Young – McNeil, Onana, Garner, Harrison – Calvert-Lewin, Beto

The Anfield Factor

The atmosphere promises to be electric, with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” setting the tone. Security and crowd control will be tight, but inside the ground, the derby energy will be at its peak.

Why This Fixture Matters

Liverpool: Face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League shortly after, so rotation could be a factor.

Everton: Have winnable games ahead against mid-table rivals, making points here vital for their European push.

A victory in this derby could shape the trajectory of both teams’ seasons.
