The stage is set for one of football's most hotly contested rivalries as Liverpool takes on Everton in the Premier League's Merseyside Derby. Taking place under the floodlights of Anfield on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the match kicks off at 8 p.m. BST. For Liverpool, this is a chance to tighten their grip on the top spot of the league, especially after the disappointment of bowing out of the Champions League to PSG and losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle.

Team Update and What to Expect
On the Liverpool side, there's both good and bad news in the squad lineup. They might have Alisson, Conor Bradley, and Ryan Gravenberch back in action, but they'll sorely miss the flair of Trent Alexander-Arnold and defensive prowess of Joe Gomez, both sidelined due to injuries.
Everton, under the guidance of experienced manager David Moyes, has been enjoying an unbeaten streak in their last ten league outings, defying their 15th position on the table. They'll step onto the pitch without their ace Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who’s nursing a hamstring injury, and Orel Mangala out with a knee issue. However, Iliman Ndiaye, Dwight McNeil, and Vitalii Mykolenko are ready to bring their talents to the frontline.
Reflecting back on their last match in February, which ended in a 2-2 draw with tensions flaring to the point of four players receiving red cards after the match, it’s clear emotions are always high in these derbies. Liverpool remains unbeaten in 25 Premier League games—an intimidating form that Everton hopes to disrupt in their title quest.
Excitement aside, fans worldwide can stay informed through live text commentary, which is conveniently accessible via the This Is Anfield app. Whether you’re sitting at home or on-the-go, make sure you have everything set up to witness what promises to be another thrilling chapter in this historic rivalry.
