Everton Vs Liverpool Preview, English Premier League: H2H, Live Streaming of Merseyside Derby – All You Need To Know

Everton host Liverpool in the 248th iteration of the famous Merseyside derby in a crucial English Premier League 2025-26 Matchday 33 fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday. This will be the first time that Everton play their local rivals in their new stadium, following their move from Goodison Park.

Both teams remain in the hunt for a spot in the UEFA Champions League. A 2-2 draw with Brentford in their last outing saw Everton remain in 10th place with 47 points, but a win could see them rise to sixth, trailing Liverpool by just two points.

While David Moyes looks to lead the Toffees to Europe, his counterpart, Arne Slot, is fighting to save his job. The Dutch head coach saw the Reds get knocked out of the Champions League, losing 4-0 on aggregate against Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool, the defending Premier League champions, are currently fifth in the standings, sitting just four points ahead of Chelsea. A loss in the Merseyside derby may be the final nail in the coffin for Slot’s Liverpool career, but Moyes was quick to defend the visiting coach.

“He has done a brilliant job, and I’ve got to say he is a really good coach – that is from a neutral point of view,” Moyes said. “If they (Liverpool) are finding a few bad things at the moment, well, we’ve had to put up with them for years, every time we go there; but as a coach, I think he’s a top coach. I actually think Liverpool supporters would agree with that if they were honest as well!”
