– Everton is on the verge of breaking a prolonged club record for losing streaks in the Merseyside Derby, a fixture that has traditionally been a fierce contest for supremacy between the two Liverpool clubs. The Toffees have faced a difficult period, enduring a notable series of defeats against Liverpool, especially when playing at home. This sequence represents their lengthiest spell without securing a home victory in the league against any opponent in their entire existence, having registered three defeats and nine draws in their past 12 Premier League home encounters with Liverpool.
The last time Everton celebrated a Merseyside derby victory at home was in October 2010, under the management of David Moyes, with goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta securing a 2-0 win. The current season has been particularly difficult for Everton, with only Sheffield United having scored fewer goals than them (34), and a lack of success against Liverpool, having not scored in any of the last four league Merseyside derbies.
Furthermore, Everton’s performance has been underwhelming against top-five Premier League teams, with six losses and two draws in eight meetings. The upcoming 244th Merseyside derby presents a significant opportunity for Everton to break this losing streak and regain some pride and momentum in their rivalry with Liverpool.
The Merseyside derby has historically been a high-stakes match, with Liverpool maintaining a strong record in recent years. The last encounter between the two sides saw Liverpool emerge victorious with a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah. This victory was part of a broader trend where Liverpool has dominated the derby, with a record of just one loss in 28 meetings against Everton.

Liverpool’s home form is particularly formidable, with a record of just one loss in their last 45 matches at Anfield. This formidable record, coupled with the current form of Everton, makes the upcoming derby a highly anticipated and challenging match for the Toffees.
Everton’s recent struggles have been compounded by a series of injuries and a lack of form, with the team languishing close to the relegation zone. However, the derby presents a unique opportunity for Everton to turn the tide and end their losing streak. The match will be a test of Everton’s resilience and determination, as they aim to break their club record of losing streaks in the Merseyside Derby. The outcome of this match will not only have implications for Everton’s season but also for the ongoing rivalry between the two clubs.
