Brendan Rodgers’ men have been in superb form on home turf this term and our tipster is advising punters to snap up a hugely generous exclusive offer for new Betway customers

The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is often a fixture that produces plenty of drama and, with both sides harbouring hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, Tuesday’s clash between the two sides at Anfield could well take on an added significance.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have been superb on home turf this season, having won 10 of their 12 Premier League matches thus far at Anfield and the Reds are warm favourites at 17/20 (1.85) with Betway to claim another three points on Tuesday evening.

Anyone considering backing the home side are advised to do so with Betway, with new customers being offered an exclusive 4/1 (5.0) quote with the odds compilers for Liverpool to see off their city rivals here.

Everton have done their best work at Goodison Park this season, having won just four of their 11 matches away from home thus far this term, albeit the Toffees have been tough to beat on the road, and Roberto Martinez’s men are available at 3/1 (4.0) with Betway to spring a surprise at Anfield while the same firm offer 5/2 (3.50) that the match ends in stalemate.

The last meeting between these sides ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Goodison Park back in November and, should the goals flow once more, the 8/13 (1.62) quotes from Betway for three or more goals to be scored would appear to be a solid selection.

Daniel Sturridge rescued a point for the Reds against the Toffees last time out and the in-form striker is tempting at 4/1 (5.0) with Betway to net the opening goal of the game with Uruguay international talisman Luis Suarez chalked up at just 5/2 (3.50) with the same firm to break the deadlock on Tuesday.

Should the Toffees strike first, Belgium international Romelu Lukaku is likely to prove popular with punters at 6/1 (7.0) with Betway while Lukaku’s fellow countryman, Kevin Mirallas is available at a chunky 10/1 (11.0) with the same firm.

The 41/20 (3.05) quote from Betway for both teams to score and Liverpool to win is hugely appealing here but those without a Betway account are encouraged to sign up with the firm and back the hugely generous 4/1 (5.0) available for Brendan Rodgers’ Reds to enjoy a crucial derby triumph on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old insists the club would not “over-pay” for Mohamed Salah, who moved to Chelsea, but is keen to bolster his squad to boost his side’s chances of a top-four finish

Brendan Rodgers admits he is disappointed at being unable to strengthen his Liverpool squad in the January transfer window.

The club missed out to Chelsea over the signing of Mohamed Salah from Basel and Rodgers reveals the Anfield hierarchy are keen to keep in check their valuation of transfer targets.

“We know what the value of the player is and how far we were prepared to go,” the Liverpool boss told reporters. “We won’t over-pay.”

Rodgers insists Liverpool should “do all they can” in the transfer market in order to bolster the club’s chances of securing a top-four spot this season and warns his side may struggle to keep pace if injuries continue to mount.

“Of course, I wanted to strengthen the team and if we are unable to do that it would be disappointing, but there’s nothing you can do about it,” said the 41-year-old.

“I think, yes, absolutely, we are so close to our aim of the Champions League and we should do everything we can to get there – and the owners feel like that as well.

“The people in the club see where we are at.

“I’ve always felt with this team that we would need to have everyone available to keep us in it, but if they are not we’ll still have to find ways to win games.”

The Irishman says he does not want to “stockpile” players and will only look to bring in first-team contenders, meaning, as it stands, nobody is close to joining the club

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that no deals are “imminent” despite trying his best to reinforce the squad before Friday’s transfer deadline.

The Reds failed in their attempts to sign Mohamed Salah from Basel after Chelsea intervened to snare the highly-rated winger as a replacement for Juan Mata, who moved to Manchester United.

Rodgers has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his squad as he bids to get the Reds back into the Champions League for the first time since 2009-10.

However, speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Merseyside derby, the Northern Irishman conceded that there may not be any fresh faces at the club before Friday.

Rodgers told reporters: “We have to wait and see. There’s certainly nothing imminent. But we always felt if we could do [business], then it was something we wanted to do.

“I said all along that this was a group that needed that wee bit of luck to keep clear of injury and, unfortunately, we’ve been hit by a bad run of injuries.

“I’m just reluctant to bring in anyone just to stockpile players. We need to bring in players that are really going to affect the starting XI. If we can’t do that, then we won’t be doing anything.

“The club is working hard on that to find the players; it’s just a very difficult market to find the player and do a deal and to get it over the line. We won’t stop until the very end and hopefully we can [sign someone].”
