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.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER

      merseyside derbies have often been tight, lots of 0-0 and 1-0 in the past

      He's an autosub for me 😀

    Thoughts on whether Son will keep starting?

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      like to know this as well

    2. Pengen
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Stay away, Winks and Lamela will also get rotated

  13. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Coleman more of an attacking threat than Walcott!

  14. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What you think about Bilva?
    He is probably as much than Sterling or Dilva?
    Could be steal for 7.5m?

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Could be!

  15. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Unbelievably on for 12 points from Mane and Digne if it stays like this

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No way, Liverpool will score

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You've accidentally used a comma there

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Clever ... but 😉

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane goal and Digne would probably still keep max baps. Didn't have much faith in him in general, let alone against Pool and on my bench 😀

      Jinx

    0-0 this o well , Liverpool weren't ever going to concede at home were they , we did all bench Richy.

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years

      Some of us sold him

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        His next 2, bad move

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah probably, but I wanted Sane.

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Coleman should have passed to Richa

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Mane with the neymar roll

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Robertson is so good.

  21. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years

    Oh lawd Mane.

  22. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Play=P Rest=R

    Hazard - Wol / City / Meaningless Europa / Brighton (PPRP)

    Salah - Bur / Bou / Napoli / Man Utd (PRPP)

    Sterling - Wat / Che / Hoffenheim / Eve (RPRP)

    Sterling and Hazard for the next few right?

  23. Alnair
    • 9 Years

    Oh god Firmino is terrible

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Bobby lost

  25. Football Rambler

    Not great today, but Kane the standout captain choice this week for me. Couple with hid great run of fixtures and being nailed on (at a time when rotation is a problem), and I'm still getting him in.

    Will assess after midweek games, but tempted to try and squeeze Auba in as well (will mean downgrading Salah). Those two give a potential captaincy run over the next 7 of:

    SOU
    HUD
    BUR
    BUR
    BOU
    WOL
    FUL

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking similar, will go Kane for GW15 then bring in Anderson and Auba for Salah and Ings for GW16

  26. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Lookman has to start!

  27. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Would you be comfortable going with only David Silva for midweek if it meant being able to keep both Salah and Haz for those games? Alternative is using both of my FTs on Sane Auba in for Haz Aguero, as opposed to only the striker swap.

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I don't know, it's a 50/50 for me this. Haz/Agüero is the issue for me to, only that I need to take a hit to get rid.

  28. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Keita is fit? Why doesnt he start over Fabinho?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Because he's not a #6.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not been great so far

  29. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Salah, grab one.

  30. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Has Salah received a single decent chance from his teammates?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, all going to Mane who has somehow not scored

    3. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. Only needs one ( well actually that's a lie)
