Everton vs Liverpool preview betting tips and predictions

Carded

Everton's January recruit Carlos Alcaraz will likely see some minutes, especially after his impressive cameo against Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The Argentine, 22, is a combative player and no stranger to a booking having collected 36 in 163 career appearances - nine of which arrived during his stint at Southampton. Under the lights and eager to endear himself to supporters, it looks a likely bet that he'll make his way into the referee's notebook.
