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.

    Double pool defence a bit of a saving grace this week.

      Feels good

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Triple is needed

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    1k green. Green is green. It is what it is.

    So are we selling Salah? Salah to Sterling?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't see why people are selling Salah this close to the bgw schedule

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No but go for it

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Go big or go home? I have Mane to captain who is outscoring him. Salah can become Sterling. If he is not my captain and he was all the time and blanked all the time than he is not worth the cash. Simple as that

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Bet you don't though

        As mad as this season has been, i still havent had a sub 40 point week, as long as Trent gets 3 or 2 bonus points that is. Usually i end up with a few 20 or 30 point weeks. So there you go.

        Funny a month or so ago Liverpool fans were almost celebrating winning it

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years

          mmh really ??

        2. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          They probably weren't Liverpool fans

        3. Zladan
          • 8 Years

          I have screenshots of multiple LFC mates saying "we're gonna win the league".

      • Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Matip had load of successful headers, tackles, passes and interceptions etc in the last 10 minutes and advanced only one BPS.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not true 🙂

            • 14 Years

            Haha, late surge!!

        2. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He was a liability towards the end. Trying to run through the midfield and getting tackled, fouling, diving...

      • Jaok
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mane or trent for 3. Liverpool spot?
