Everton Host Liverpool in Crucial Merseyside Derby
Everton will face title-chasing Liverpool in a highly anticipated Premier League clash on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. The match will be played at Goodison Park in Liverpool, with kickoff scheduled for 8pm BST.
Team News and Injuries
Everton will be without striker Beto, who suffered a head injury in their previous match against Nottingham Forest. Seamus Coleman may be nearing a return, but this fixture comes too soon. Dele Alli, Nathan Patterson, and Lewis Dobbin will also miss out. However, Everton are hopeful of having Dominic Calvert-Lewin available.
Liverpool have recovered most of their injured players, but Joel Matip, Ben Doak, and Thiago Alcantara remain sidelined. Stefan Bajcetic is gradually returning to action, while Diogo Jota has suffered a fresh hip injury and will miss approximately two weeks.
Form and Predictions
