Liverpool Vs Everton Football Match Score 14 February 2023
Liverpool host Everton in the Premier League on Monday afternoon, so we simulated the clash to try and predict the score. The second Merseyside Derby of the season takes place on Monday when Liverpool host Everton in the Premier League. Liverpool suffered another defeat over the weekend, this time a 3-0 defeat to Wolves in a dismal display. As for Everton, the Toffees claimed an unexpected three points against Premier League leaders Arsenal, winning 1-0 in Sean Dyche’s first game.
Liverpool fans were left frustrated after just one arrival in the January transfer window, but when compared to their rivals, they can’t complain. In a relegation battle, Everton sold Anthony Gordon for £45m whilst bringing in no one. Carlo Ancelotti has poured cold water on reports that he will take over as Brazil manager and insisted he will only leave Real Madrid if he is sacked.
The Brazil national post has been vacant since the South American nation’s World Cup quarter final exit to Croatia on penalties – with former boss Tite not renewing his contract which expired in December. Brazil were favourites to win the competition and their last eight finish was a disappointment.
After guiding Real Madrid to their Club World Cup title with victory over Al-Hilal on Sunday, Ancelotti told reporters when asked about suggestions he was set for the Brazil post: “I am not leaving here until they sack me.”

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions. Recent form impacts players’ ratings in FIFA 23, so the Blues squad was lower-rated than usual heading into this simulation. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side go into Monday’s Premier League meeting at Anfield in freefall. They are without a victory in their past four league games and suffered a humbling defeat at Wolves in their last game.
Sean Dyche, meanwhile, enjoyed a dream start as Everton manager last weekend with victory over leaders Arsenal but his side remains in the relegation zone. BBC Sport takes a look at the key issues surrounding the fixture. The team in high spirits at the moment, Everton came out the brighter side, with Amadou Onana striking the post after seven minutes with a long-range effort. Liverpool grew into the game as the first half went on, and after 34 minutes they took the lead through a marvellous Mohamed Salah strike.
Everton lost possession in their own half, allowing the Reds to hit Dyche’s side on the break with Cody Gakpo leading the attack. The diagonal run of Darwin Nunez created space for Salah on the right, and after being picked out by Gakpo, the Egyptian curled a fantastic effort into the top corner of the net. Liverpool were controlling the possession at Anfield following the opening goal, but Nunez, Salah and Naby Keita all missed opportunities to extend the lead. Stefan Bajcetic picked out Jordan Henderson with a long ball to send the midfielder into a 50/50 with Jordan Pickford early in the second half, and a penalty was then awarded to the Reds after a foul from the ‘keeper.
The Liverpool skipper reached the ball before Pickford as he poked the ball away from the onrushing ‘keeper, and his outstretched arm pulled back the leg of Henderson, giving the referee no choice but to award a spot kick. Salah stepped up to take the penalty, but his effort aimed for the top corner was fantastically saved by Pickford to keep the score at 1-0.
As the game entered the final 10 minutes, the Toffees started to put pressure on Liverpool, winning plenty of corners to try and find an equaliser. Four consecutive corners were awarded to Dyche’s side in the 88th minute, and on the final attempt they levelled the score late on.
Demari Gray sent an out-swinging cross towards the centre of the box, tempting Alisson to charge off his line and attempt to claim the ball. But, the ‘keeper missed his punch, allowing substitute Ellis Simms to head into an empty net. It proved the last big chance of the game, and the points were shared.
FIFA 23 predicts that the second Merseyside derby could end in a draw on Monday evening, with the result seemingly benefitting Everton more than Liverpool. The Reds could see more of the ball as Everton sat back and absorbed pressure, the Toffees exposed Liverpool’s vulnerability from set pieces as they headed home a late equaliser at Anfield. Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi has admitted his enjoyment of playing football has returned following the arrival of Sean Dyche at Goodison Park.
The 51-year-old former Burnley boss succeeded Frank Lampard last month after a run of just one win in nine Premier League games left the Blues in the relegation zone. However, in their first outing under Dyche, the Blues recorded a stunning win over league leaders Arsenal thanks to a header from James Tarkowski midway through the second half at Goodison Park on February 4.
For Iwobi, who joined the Blues in the summer of 2019, he’s enjoying his football as much as he ever has at Goodison Park.
“Of course it has been tough for the past three years – it wasn’t a great start when I signed – but I’m probably the happiest I’ve been for a while,” said the midfielder, speaking to Press Association. “I am consistently playing a lot of football and especially at Everton, it’s a very good club with a lot of history in the Premier League.
