Everton vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder tips for Everton vs Liverpool features Gravenberch to commit over 1.5 fouls, Orel Mangala over 1.5 fouls and Szoboszlai to have over 1.5 shots.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 6/1 with BetMGM.
You can expect fouls in a Merseyside derby and with Everton slipping towards the relegation zone and Liverpool looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table, both sides will want to win - promising an even more heated fixture than usual.
Gravenberch averages 1.61 fouls per 90 for Liverpool and has commited over 1.5 fouls in in the last two games.
He face Mangala who averages 1.54 fouls drawn and Gana Gueye who averages 1.38.
Mangala averages 2.15 fouls per game and has hit this line in four of the six games he has started this season. He will be up against Liverpools two most fouled players in Gravenberch (1.9 per 90) and Jones (1.9 per 90).
Szoboszlai will likely play in the more advanced role in this fixture as and as we saw against Man City and Southampton (eight shots combined), he isn't afraid to shoot from that position.
He averages 1.89 shots a game and should get plenty of chances against a weak Everton side.
