Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Everton and Liverpool.
The two sides are set to face each other in the Premier League matchday 6 on September 3, 2022.
Ahead of the game, Merson has shared his thoughts, backing the Reds to celebrate a 2 - 1 win over the opponents.
"Everton are working hard for Frank Lampard, and I like that. You always judge a team by how its players are doing, and they're working hard for their manager. I think they'll make it difficult for Liverpool this weekend," the pundit said, via Sportskeeda.
"I watched Liverpool the other day, and they huffed and puffed against Newcastle. That was a mega result for them, to be honest. With Henderson injured, Arthur will be in contention for this game. He's played in big games for big football clubs, and I wouldn't worry about this Premier League match being too much for him.
"Darwin Nunez is back for this game, but I'd still go with Roberto Firmino. I'm not saying you punish Nunez for what he did, but he needs to work hard to get back into the team. Firmino was outstanding against Bournemouth, and he did pretty well against Newcastle the other night.
"Everyone seems to think this Premier League game is a foregone conclusion, but I don't share that view. There isn't much in this game, and Liverpool should be able to win, but only by the odd goal."
