Fit-again Firmino a substitute as Richarlison is dropped by Silva

The final fixture of Gameweek 29 takes place at Goodison Park this afternoon, as Liverpool make the short trip across Stanley Park.

Kick-off in the Merseyside derby is at 16:15 GMT.

Jurgen Klopp has made only one change to his starting XI from the team that defeated Watford 5-0 in midweek, with Jordan Henderson replacing James Milner in central midfield.

Roberto Firmino has recovered from an ankle problem but is only named among the substitutes, with Klopp explaining his decision ahead of kick-off:

Bobby trained yesterday and it looked really good, so he is on the bench because he could be an option. I didn’t think it was necessary to bring him immediately after the good game we played on Wednesday. We’ll try it like this. We have very good options, that’s important.

Marco Silva has also made a big call in attack, dropping Richarlison for compatriot Bernard on the left flank.

Richarlison is on the bench, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin once again leads the line.

Kurt Zouma returns from suspension and replaces Phil Jagielka at centre-half in Silva’s only other change.

The reverse fixture of this match was contested in December, with Divock Origi scoring a last-gasp winner for Liverpool at Anfield.

Origi starts for the Reds again this afternoon, with Sadio Mane once more expected to line up as the central striker in Klopp’s 4-3-3 today.

Mohamed Salah is the second-most-popular captaincy pick of Gameweek 29, having been handed the armband by more than 1.2 million FPL bosses.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was the most-bought defender of this Gameweek, while Mane was transferred in by more FPL managers than any other midfielder.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Origi.

        Oh no wait. 38-4 but AWB coming off the bench so might still sneak in. Wahey!

      sayonara all and thanks to TM

      I lasted until GW29

      22 points and I'm on the canvas like Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas

    Pogba & Rash to Vardy & LEI / BOU mid? Seems like madness but considering it...

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      How much value do you stand to lose? I will lose tonnes on Pogba so I'm keeping.

      1. Stryder05
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bought him at 7.8, sells for 8.4. Will lose 0.6 but no one else to transfer out to bolster the team for blanks

    This remind me of the Simpsons submarine episode.
    -We've been hit by an officer!
    -If they're going to fire on us, we'll respond in kind. Fire!
    (two men grab the captain, intending to drag him to the torpedo tubes)

    Except its Brazilian forwards

    What have Everton done differently today? They look OK.

    As a double Liverpool defence owner, this is not nice now. Blow the whistle ref.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why? Just don’t expect a cleansheet.

  12. Ginkapo FPL

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Why does Salah detest passing to Mane?

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Passing doesn't get you the goals

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Did Sadio tell him that his hairdo went out with the 90s?

    3. fusen
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe repaying Mane for last week where he was going for his third goal every single time even if Salah was in a better position?

    Wow, I might actually crack 40 this GW if Everton don't score...

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Why would you jinx it like that?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Because I'm not superstitious?

    2. TAT
      • 6 Years

      Don't jinx it!

  18. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    This has Milner goal from Fabinho written all over it.

    When did Matip turn into Lothar Matthäus/Franz Beckenbauer?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Are you trying to say Matip is a Lothario?

    VVD was denied an assist

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Get Salah off

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

  26. Dele
    • 7 Years

    Salah to be subbed, finally reverting back to the player he is.

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think Everton are going to win it because Liverpool have not taken their chances.

      If he gets a clean sheet point he'll be one of the highest scoring players in my team this GW.
