Shaqiri back in the Liverpool attack as Klopp continues with a 4-2-3-1

The final match of Gameweek 14 is the third local derby of the day, with Everton making the short trip across Stanley Park to face Liverpool.

The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League this season and have only conceded one goal in six top-flight matches at Anfield.

Marco Silva’s side have only lost one of their last seven Premier League fixtures, meanwhile, keeping four clean sheets along the way.

There were no major shocks upon the release of the teamsheets, with Everton indeed unchanged from the side that beat Cardiff City 1-0 in Gameweek 13.

Richarlison (£7.0m) leads the line for Everton again, with Yerry Mina (£5.4m) continuing at centre-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) all return to Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI after missing out in midweek, with the Reds looking like they will again line up in a 4-2-3-1.

This formation will presumably see Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) leading the line, with Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) dropping into “the hole” and Shaqiri playing out wide on the right.

Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) also start for the third time in a week, while Joe Gomez (£5.1m) moves over to centre-back at the expense of Dejan Lovren (£4.9m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison.

    I hope that in a couple of hours time I can post "I can't believe Salah scored three, all assisted by Robertson!"

    I think I may head into GW15 with only David Silva as my City player... anyone else?

    Looking to drop Aguero for Auba, but may give Haz one more week over Sane... (2FT)

    Or do both the moves (obviously waiting til after this game)

    Since the start of the 2016/17 season, the only teams Arsenal have lost to at home are Man City (twice), Liverpool, Watford and Man Utd. This includes beating Spurs at home last season and this season.

    Since the start of the 2016/17 season, Arsenal have not beaten a Top 6 team away from home managing at best only a draw with Chelsea (0-0) and Man Utd (1-1).

  14. lugs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    only have Robbo, Shaq, Salah, Rich in this game 😆

  15. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you be more nervous going w/o Salah or Haz or w/ only David Silva front City?

    gut says Salah, at least next week - right?

  16. JustPark
    • 8 Years

    Do something, Rich!

  17. BRKFCTrueRover

    WC active Auba, Kane and Anderson in arnie, Haz and Aguero out. A few other bits done but happy let's get ahead of the curve!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lovely

    2. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How is that getting ahead of the curve?

      If you'd done it last week you would be..

  18. FPL Daniel

    We should reconsider our cash distribution.

    Who are your top 3 most expensive players?

    One of Salah and Kane, Sterling and Hazard/Auba?

    What about Sane and Kun?

    Now the men will be separated from boys as Mark was saying in Scoutcast in the past. The original one, against Granville

  19. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero, Arnie, Salah -> Kane, Auba, Sane (-4)?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If you can afford that then that is banging

  20. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I like that Jordan Pickford has fun while he plays, but he makes so many mistakes that I can't help but feel that having fun must be detrimental to being good.

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can confirm. Used to play in goals at fives and had a great time. Was rubbish.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        😆

  21. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Which would you prefer?

    A) Kane Fraser Obiang
    B) Sane Son Jimenez

    Have Sterling and Aubameyang as (c)

    1. dvdguy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

  22. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mina is the one I'm looking at

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What position he plays and how much he is?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        CB, current price 5.4. Loves scoring goals for fun.

        1. Sterling Malory
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Missed a sitter

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Helping me keep my double Liverpool def cleanie intact by saving his goal for the midweek game.

            Good guy.

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Right, let's get an early Rich goal to soil that Liverpool clean sheet.
