Before you lock in your Liverpool vs. Everton picks or Merseyside Derby predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

The expert knows Everton is going through a transitional period right now that has made them more competitive. The club brought back David Moyes as manager over a decade after he left for Manchester United, and he returned to his old team staring at a relegation battle. The Toffees have won three straight league matches heading into Wednesday's derby and have outscored those opponents 8-2 over that span.

Eimer knows Everton are about to face their toughest challenge of the season in Liverpool. Arne Slot's men continue to dominate in both domestic and tournament play, although they enter Wednesday's match following a disappointing 1-0 loss to Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round. The Reds are still the top-scoring team in the league and have tallied 56 goals in 23 games, and they are expected to stay hot with the league's top scorer leading the charge.
