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.

    Anyone still looking to bring Hazard in for the BGWs?

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

      Yeah probably. He has played a lot recently Sarri just protecting him today.

    2. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      How did he look today? Didn't watch.

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He looked hungry today, think he’ll haul soon

    4. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only because lack of better options already having triple pool.

    5. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Already got the 65 minute man. Still scored more than most of the rest of my team, which isn’t saying much.

    It's about time we had a Walcott bandwagon for old times sake.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley looked sharp today too.

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't believe it, not Salah.

  9. Simmoo
    • 10 Years

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

    Everton will do well with Lukaku back next season

  12. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Matip looking tasty at 4.9

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Robbo Salah TAA Mane all ahead tbh

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Filthy

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      isn't that tiny ?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Once he comes into the mix its too late to turn back.

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think Zohore will disagree with you

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fnarr fnarr

    5. Moorinho
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      not when lovren/gomez come back

  13. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Do we know the final bonus from Fulham 1-2 Chelsea?

  14. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah dive yellow incoming.

  15. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah feels like a waste of a Liverpool spot recently. Would rather Mane and double defence tbh.

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

      I agree. I need transfers for blank planning though

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

      Considering the sidweays switch to Mané. Have nothing to lose at this point in the season anyway.

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He’ll hit form soon enough, always does whenever people start considering seling, he picks it up again, and there is a mad rush to get him back

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        cant predict periods of hauls/blanks, just have to trust he’s going to score tons of points over course of season, which he has done

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly my thinking GW 16. The he had 2-3 consecutive mega hauls.

  16. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Assuming the strategy is FH32 and WC34

    Would you transfer Pogba > Hazard for gameweeks 30, 31 & 33 and lose 0.2 in value?

    * I currently have Higuain, Salah, FAnderson, Hayden, Robertson, TAA and Fabianski in my team for BGW 31 & 33 and plan to bring in a defender instead of Bamba the following week

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

      If it's only .2 then maybe. I'm keeping as I bought at 7.8/9 can't remember.

    2. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      0.2 is acceptable

  17. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Jimenez -> Wilson/King
    Will play Sane & Trippier 1st on bench

    B) Trippier + Sane -> Lascelles + Hazard (-4)
    Will play Tomkins & Lascelles 1st on bench

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

  18. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Oh Salah

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Urgh!!!!!!!

  20. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah miss one on one

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    That was so poor from Salah, didn't try to come inside. Stayed out and made the angle harder for himself

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

      He tried, his touch was just shite.

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

        This

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not to mention making it obvious where he was going to put it

    3. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Oh is that what he did

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      fascinating - have you considered becoming a professional footballer?

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

      Can't really be surprised having watched him consistently waste chances for a couple of seasons now. 😛

  22. J T
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah missing sitter

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly a sitter. Tight angle

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah getting closer to a goal

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

    What's wrong with Salah. His body language is not right. Is he off form? Or maybe tired? Not motivated?

  25. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    It's sodding Pickford ffs, the worst keeper in the league, how could you miss that!

  26. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah 1 on 1

  27. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering Wilson for bgw 31? Next week they are playing vs Hud away, that could be good fixture also. Can't get King, will be short 0.1 on Son to Mane. Other option is Barnes.

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

      King for me, too soon for Wilson.

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Too risky imo unless some confirming news come in.

  28. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Really want to sell him now.

  29. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah sent himself too wide there.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This. Should have come in centrally

  30. MTPockets
