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.

      bit of a troll sometimes.

      player who has scored 17 goals this season which is the 2nd highest & only 1 goal behind top scorer kun

    9. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Waste of 13.5m!!!!

      45m to go or not

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

    So poor from Salah.. my grandma would score that

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

    In very poor form isn’t he

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

    Salah took the ball too wide, should have gone central.

  7. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah is just a dead spot in the team. Just sit him there, don’t captain and let your rank go up

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

      missed yesterday - how did kun and sterling do?

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

        They got positive points !

        I’d recommend the Live Score app

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

          nice, thanks

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

            Should have captained Rice tho 😉

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

              mostly releived i decided against captaining pogba, i can take the rest on the chin

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

                Yeah that was brutal. He was my vice

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Dont captain? If you arent captaining you should sell...

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

        Didn’t have him for Xmas and got bummed. I’ll just own and ignore. Still have all the guys I want it’s easy this year with prices

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He’s on a worrying run

      Approaching 350 minutes without a G or A in all competitions

      Probably a good (c) next week though with city missing Fernandinho

      Kun, Sané & Sterling have a combined 2 returns between them in the 4 games Fernandinho has missed this year

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

    Ref gets new batteries

  9. DaniCT
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah would not miss that last year..

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

      he missed absolutely loads of chances last year, has always been erratic

  10. g40steve

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Robbie down

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

    The word ‘sitter’ is so overused on here by people who have clearly never played football

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

      Yeah lol, every one on one is a sitter.

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

      Or watched it by the looks of it.

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

      It was a Big Chance Missed

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

        Indeed

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

        -baps

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

      It should have been a sitter but his touch ruined it, massive chance.

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

        It’s still not a sitter. A fast break or 1 on 1 is never a ‘sitter’.. a tap in on the other hand or open net

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

        A sitter is where you can’t miss. Having a keeper between you and the goal usually means it’s not a sitter imo

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

          this

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      With his quality, that's a bit of a sitter.

    6. Evil Buddha
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What do you mean? I've played FIFA and never missed such chances.

  12. Gobigorgohome

    Salah -one season wonder

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

      196 points this season says otherwise

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Michu in disguise

        I beg you pardon?

    3. Rainer

        1. evilfish
          • 10 Years

  13. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Everton benched their most ineffective midfield.. Richarlison. Klopp should do the same to Salah. Bring on Shaq

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

    King look a better option than Barnes/Rondon? Fixtures for GW30, 31, 33 (note - missing out GW32)

    £6.4m King: hud NEW BUR
    £5.7m Barnes: liv LEI bou
    £5.9m Rondon: EVE bou CRY

    1. EMBOLOFAN

    Sorry for offtopic but can I found how many managers in the 10k had Jimenez captain ?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Please keep the posts on the topic of FPL. Thanks

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

        The captaincy column doesn't work for me? Is it a bug or the same for you too?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, just used EO but some benched him probably for an autosub.

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

            Right. Cheers

      Unai, fix your vocab. And your team selection

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

      Stop benching me for "tactical reasons" or I'll kick you in the balls tomorrow, pal.

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

        no good ebening

      2. Deulofail

      How is this off topic?

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

    Pool need to be a little less direct for a bit. Tire eve out a bit. Eve can't run around like crazed hounds all game.

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

      well that's basically what Walcott does for a living

    2. Evil Buddha
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Need a creative midfielder. Not enough chances created against good defences.

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

        Yeah but this is Everton's defence.

  21. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Origi must be close to getting a yellow

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

      Just thinking that myself

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

      He's been watching Fernandinho, knows how to foul well.

  22. Sim Simma

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

    Would you sell Pogba for Mane? Have 0.4 tied up in him but Mane has a nice fixture next week

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Might do it for a hit. Lots of value lost though.

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

        Im thinking Auba + Pogba > Mane + Vardy -4.

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

      Depends on if you have a good way of getting Pogba back

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Debating but I’d want Pogba back for dgw 32 so I probably won’t. Also have a feeling Pogba will make up for his poor game yesterday so will probably keep

    4. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      do you have sterling or someone you could ditch instead? im doing sterling to mane in gw31

  25. Shultan

    Are all the folks slagging off Salah owners just trying the reverse jinx?

  26. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Theo Walcott

    Was he ever any good?

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

      Kept pace with Sánchez for a while in 16/17 at Arsenal, all down hill since second half of that season

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2-0

    3. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years

      Eye test says he's better than Salah in this match

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I am not sure about that

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

      Hes still one of England's greatest young talents along with Jesse Lingard and Hendo.

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        lol

    5. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      had a period when he was the ultimate troll when playing OOP centre forward at Arsenal.
      Blank the easy games then nick something in the hard ones.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Shot Off Target I mean by SOT

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

        What's the acronym for Shot On Target?

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

          SONT

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

            I thought SOT was a shot ON target?

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

        Yes, Targett plays for SOT.

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

        What do you call a Shot On Target?

  28. LǝgleSs e|even

    A Digne free kick wonder would be amazing

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      RC you mean

  29. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    VVD looks very comfortable clearing all those balls. Everton's tactics not working

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

      0-0 = tactics working.

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

        No attacking threat. Game's still half way.

  30. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Trent FK goal here would be lovely
