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.

      Unlikely to keep. Origi will get winning goal bonus.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Salah and Haz > TAA and Laporte on the cards

  9. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That goal took my Richarlison clean sheet away! Fuming! :angry:

  10. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Wait that mis hit volley shot is an assist?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He meant it, ask Sané

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Don't think it will stand

  11. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Why didn't he tip it up and back, hell even I could do that.

  12. Brehmeren
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    As a Digne owner, that hurt. Cost me 7 points.

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Klopp sitting at the camera, ugly scenes.

  14. J T
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pickford stopped it going over the bar lol

  15. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Yeah. I don't know what to say about that finish

  16. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Can a player look simultaneously so awful and so essential.

    Mane, could and should have had a hatrick, minimum. I just can't drop him when he's getting in so many goalscoring positions

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He was taking his opportunities early on in the season but his finishing has become erratic again, with City mids & Spurs mids about, I'd get rid personally.

  17. Ask Yourself
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That is the VVD attacking threat I was telling people about

  18. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    WC 17, for the next two weeks only:

    A) Haz + Murray -> F.Anderson + Auba

    B) Haz + Aguero -> Sané + Kane

    C) Salah + Murray -> F.Anderson + Kane

    D) Robertson + Aguero -> Digne + Kane

    If getting Kane he will by C, if no probably Aguero with a nailed VC

  23. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this potential -8?

    Salah, Hazard, Kun, Arnie > Sterling, Anderson, Kane, Aubameyang

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not fancy arnie midweek

  24. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    VVD grabs a 12-pointer for a mistimed, skied, rubbish shot. Nice.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      😎

    2. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone fancy Aubameyang over Kane?

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Just done augero to Auba. Decided against Kane

  26. french holiday

    Salah to be benched and rested for Napoli and Origi to start v Burnley?

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mane u mean

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mane more likely, one one of the front 3 who wasn't subbed off. Salah is most likely to play of the 3. Came off at about 74 mins

  27. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Origi - more vowels than consonants. That would get Rachel Riley going.

  28. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That Ball goes outside the white line on the nets then swing back in right ?

    So that shoundt be goal

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That is what I thought on second viewing. Be interesting to see in the analysis
