Everton v Liverpool team news: Alexander-Arnold on the bench

12 February 2025 914 comments

Skonto Rigga

The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park – and the last match of Double Gameweek 24 – takes place this evening.

Everton v Liverpool kicks off at 19:30 GMT.

The big team news concerns two full-backs.

Everton’s Vitalii Mykolenko is able to return after missing Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round match with Bournemouth with a minor calf niggle.

But Trent Alexander-Arnold is only fit enough to be on the bench for the visitors.

After rotating in the FA Cup on Sunday, Arne Slot mostly reverts to the side that defeated Bournemouth 2-0 over a week ago.

The one exception is Conor Bradley in for Alexander-Arnold.

Similarly, David Moyes is able to name the same starting XI that demolished Leicester City in their first Gameweek 24 fixture.

New boy Carlos Alcaraz is on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gana, Garner, Doucoure, Lindstrom, Ndiaye, Beto.

Subs: Virginia, Begovic, Keane, Harrison, Young, Alcaraz, Iroegbunam, Sherif, Heath

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah.

This fixture is 41-41 all for Everton and Liverpool wins at Goodison Park in its entire history, with about 22 draws or something like that.

A fitting decider, or honours even at the Everton ground since they left Anfield?

  Same boat, would also cost me -4 to take him out but I'm sticking for this last double on the off-chance he nicks a goal against Wolves. The thing is, I'm then not sure I want to get rid before SOU in 28, so would mean keeping him right up to the blank & transferring him out in 29, which is mad if he's just 2-pointing every game, but convenient if he starts getting a few returns.

So far:

Slot + Salah + TAA = 62 points
Gakpo + Salah + TAA = 54 points

Those that went Slot AM only really 8 points up on rest

In light of TAA on bench, what to do for double?

1. Keep and hope plays both games.

2. Shift for another defender and play Slot.

Do you think Arsenal season is done without a forward and Saka/Martinelli out also? I get the market was right in January to get the ideal striker into the club but some recognised attacker who can score must have been out there just as a backup to Havertz since Jesus was already ruled out. Funny decisions made at that club.

  Arsenal have known for last 3 seasons need a striker & beginning of January window should have splashed the
