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.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Very fortunate, but also unfortunate to not have won the premiums' captaincy call.

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Sadly already brought him in. And got double Liverpool. Think Clyne might be the option for Bennett

            1. BARIO MALOTELLI
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

      Come on you differential captainers. It's your moment. Tell us who you had. There must be a few jimenezes out there.

      1. Midlands Saint73
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Does Gonzo count as a differential?

      2. Stay Back

        VVD 🙂

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is 67 points any good? 🙁

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Well below the average of 134

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years

        Nearly double my horror week, Pogba C, Luiz, Pereira, Doherty, Rash, Kun, Son, Mane, Salah, they all need the sack !

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Wow. Projected to be 23,843. Nearly made it!

    6. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      5 goals in last 6 games for Ashley Barnes. Clearly on form.

      Crazy to play him away at anfield over AWB home to Brighton?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not at all

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not crazy no. Barnes terrorised Spurs, can’t see why he can’t a nervous pool.

    7. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Klopp blaming the wind again

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 3 months ago

          not cool

      2. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        so now Aguero gets a weeks rest. Wondering if Pep will play him Watford (H) then rest him against Schalke, well thats what I'm hoping

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I think so. He's just better than Jesus

          • Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            With the league now won, Pep will probably rest him to focus on the UCL.

        2. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Time to sell Salah

          1. Garth Marenghi
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            After 31 for me probably

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

            Weeks ago!

          3. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Go for it then 🙂

          4. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Not before Burnley and Fulham. Maybe on gw34 wildcard for me

        3. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          To field 11 starters in GW31 & 33 I need to sell one of these:

          Jimènez (PP-6.0, CP-6.9, SP-6.4)
          Doherty (PP-4.4, CP-5.5, SP-4.9)
          AWB (PP-4.0, CP-4.5, SP-4.2)

          I already have 3 defenders for 31/33 (TAA, Robbo, Periera) so the only option I like is Luiz/Azpi who I can get for AWB.

          To have 7 attackers (343 with Pogba benched) I’ll have to sell Jimènez.

          So would you rather get Luiz/Azpi or a striker for Jimènez?

          Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

        4. boc610

          has to be the lowest scores combined from all the 10m plus players in a single gameweek of FPL?

          1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Lukaku says hi

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            A. Rondón is at home to Everton

            1. BARIO MALOTELLI
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              yea rly tough call but jimenez is in form wile rashford isnt

        6. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Trent my first successful transfer in a long long time. 55 feels like a success, but gutted Hazard didn’t capitalise on how good he looked today

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Shame about Haz only getting 6 but 7 better than Pogba at least.

          2. Karan_G14
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            59 here delighted but feel it could have been much better with Sterling(c) & Hazard.

        7. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Baffling as to why Klopp turned to Milner and Lallana when we need a goal. Pragmatism has cost Liverpool since the turn of the year. Going to need Man United to do us a favour in a few weeks 🙁

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            City being overrun with games looks the only saviour now.

          2. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            That's gonna be a weird game.

          3. Bouncebackability
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 17 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Palace and United away the only two City need to win, the rest are routine.

            1. norwegian-forest-cats
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Nothing's routine. Newcastle should have been routine. City also face Spurs

              1. fedolefan
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Spurs are routine.

        8. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          45 points and a tiny green but still at 25k

          Can’t wait to play my chips and hopefully make some big gains in rank, all this preparing for gw31 is boring me to death

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Most of that 25k will be hoping similar.

            Jumps with the chips but maybe not as much as we hope, like last season.

        9. Magumbo
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mane or TAA

            • 9 Years

            This is the question I want answered!

          2. Superbadhine
            • 15 Years

            Both

          3. YEAH PITCH!

            1. Magumbo
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Was all set to do son>mane but thinking of doubling on the defence instead

        10. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          TAA 3 BAPs?

        14. threeputt
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Impressed with Hugain today chancewise, but we are talking Fulham of course

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Good clinical finish, could have had more though.

            Its Fulham, like Huddersfield was for Rondon, but Higuain is a good option for the next few weeks.

        15. St. Joseph
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          How's rashford playing yesterday?
          Seems so many are selling, does lukaku playing centrally affect him so bad?

        16. Syd.
          • 17 Years

          Pogba > Mane?
          Shaw > TAA?

          1 FT, 3.4 ITB

          Fab
          AWB - Doherty - Robertson
          F. Anderson - Pogba - Sterling - Salah

          Why is Vardy flagged?

              7 years, 3 months ago

              Sniffed one at half time

              Head injury is what FPL says.

              The moment that I met you
              You didn't seem to feel that way at all
              I knew right then and there
              Beyond a shadow of a doubt
              That I'll be there to catch you when you fall

              Though I don't mind the waiting
              Some nights are long and lonely
              And I can't help hoping that you'll call
              In the end, it doesn't matter
              You can take your time
              I'll be there to catch you when you fall

              You were with someone
              I was with someone
              Our eyes connected clear across the room
              And then it happened
              We said hello
              And though it only took a minute
              I could see my future in it

              In my heart I'm certain
              That we belong together
              I can see the writing on the wall
              And I can tell you just exactly how the story goes
              There's a happy ending after all
              And I'll be there to catch you when you fall

                I can almost smell the burning hair caused by all those lighters being held aloft.
