View: Everton's man of the moment good value to end dismal Liverpool record

Beto has never been on the winning team for Everton against Liverpool.

With European dreams still well and truly alive, Everton return to action this weekend to take on Liverpool off the back of their Champions League exit.

Pressure is mounting on Arne Slot to keep his job, while the Toffees could move up to sixth with a win against their rivals.

Everton have failed to win any of their last three clashes with the Reds, last securing victory in 2024 when Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were on the scoresheet.

However, Beto’s recent upturn in form for Everton may hand them a boost to end that run, and to always rewrite his own history against Liverpool.

Beto’s record against Liverpool

Beto has been in excellent form lately, as showcased by the fact that he has had a hand in five goals in his last five appearances for the Toffees.

However, if he is to add to that this weekend, he will need to do something he has only ever done once before.

In the four encounters that Beto has had with Liverpool, he has managed just one goal, but the biggest concern is that he has never been on the winning side.

Three of those have ended in defeat, while the other was a 2-2 draw last season, in which Beto was on the scoresheet.

It may be a small sample size, but Beto has never lost against Liverpool when he has scored against them, and that could happen again this weekend.

David Moyes is one game away from repeating Carlo Ancelotti trick

A win for the Toffees would be huge for their chances of Europe, but it would also see them hit the 50-point mark.

The last time Everton achieved that was back in the 2020-21 season, when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge.

Everton accumulated 59 points by the end of that campaign, meaning they would need to pick up 13 or more points from their last six games to reach that tally.
