S.P. Read Esq: Liverpool v Everton

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Friday’s FA Cup match between LIVERPOOL v EVERTON and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

It promises to be a cracker of an FA Cup 3rd Round tie tonight at Anfield for the visit of Merseyside rivals Everton.

It’s less than a month since the same fixture finished 1-1 in the Premier League with Salah taking the lead before Wayne Rooney cancelled it out from the penalty spot.

Everton are playing improved football under Sam Allardyce but Liverpool are playing far better and surely will take this with home advantage and keep up their strong record against Everton at Anfield. The Toffees are now winless in their last 19 visits.

I can easily see more goals this time. Cup ties, in general, produce more goals – especially if there is an early one and the side behind need to go and chase the game.

The big news is that mega signing Van Jijk is in Liverpool’s starting XI, but they are without top scorer Mohamed Salah and also Philippe Coutinho:

Liverpool

1 Karius
12 Gomez
32 Matip
4 van Dijk
26 Robertson
23 Can
7 Milner
19 Mané
20 Lallana
21 Oxlade-Chamberlain
9 Firmino

Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s even more special being a cup game. There are not many good things you can think of in January but a cup game under floodlights against Everton is one of them. It’s cool.

“We have always picked players who are able to play in the FA Cup. Virgil van Dijk comes in, he is fresh, he’s not 100% fine tuned but there is no pressure. It’s a big opportunity for him, he is looking forward to it.

“He only has to do his job.”
