Everton ace Idrissa Gueye has destroyed Liverpool star for incredible stat in fewer games
Everton’s first game against Liverpool this season is right around the corner
David Moyes’ side will travel to Anfield on September 20th as they look to continue their bright start to the season.
Everton impressively beat Wolves last time out and will look to kick on after the international break with an improved squad.
The Toffees bolstered their midfield ranks on Deadline Day with the signing of Merlin Rohl from Freiburg.
One of Everton’s strengths has been the middle of the park, with one particular player standing out for the side.
Idrissa Gueye has been a standout performer for Everton
Idrissa Gueye has been in fine form for Everton this season, being part of an excellent midfield for Moyes.
Gueye has taken his Everton form into the international break, impressing for Senegal in the World Cup qualifiers.
Midfield will be one of the key areas when Everton face Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby in two weeks, and it’s where the Toffees could have an advantage.
According to Squawka, Gueye tops the charts of tackles won in the Premier League since 2022/2023.
The Sengalese has registered 184 successful tackles in that period, well ahead of Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister and has done it in fewer games.
The Argentine sits 9th on the list, 30 tackles below Gueye in a stat that will surely please Everton supporters.
Gueye facing against Mac Allister will be one of the many key battles to look out for when the Toffees travel to Anfield.

David Moyes knows he can count on his midfield ace
The 35-year-old has been a consistent presence for Everton since his return to Merseyside in 2022.
Gueye has proven to be a real leader for Everton and has exemplified that with his play on the pitch.
- Idrissa Gueye has started all three Premier League games this season
- The midfielder won both the Players’ Player and the Everton Player of the Season awards last campaign
- He has made nearly 200 league appearances for Everton over two spells
New signing Rohl will undoubtedly come into the side at some point, but will need to adjust to the Premier League and learn from the likes of Gueye
With tough fixtures against Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Manchester City all coming up within the next month, Everton will hope Gueye’s form continues.
