Shaqiri back in the Liverpool attack as Klopp continues with a 4-2-3-1

The final match of Gameweek 14 is the third local derby of the day, with Everton making the short trip across Stanley Park to face Liverpool.

The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League this season and have only conceded one goal in six top-flight matches at Anfield.

Marco Silva’s side have only lost one of their last seven Premier League fixtures, meanwhile, keeping four clean sheets along the way.

There were no major shocks upon the release of the teamsheets, with Everton indeed unchanged from the side that beat Cardiff City 1-0 in Gameweek 13.

Richarlison (£7.0m) leads the line for Everton again, with Yerry Mina (£5.4m) continuing at centre-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) all return to Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI after missing out in midweek, with the Reds looking like they will again line up in a 4-2-3-1.

This formation will presumably see Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) leading the line, with Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) dropping into “the hole” and Shaqiri playing out wide on the right.

Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) also start for the third time in a week, while Joe Gomez (£5.1m) moves over to centre-back at the expense of Dejan Lovren (£4.9m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison.

      Even if he was, would be be risked before the Chelsea game?

    Robertson, Martial, Aguero > TAA, Sane, Auba

    Would be a -4 and Leaves about £0.8m ITB and this team

    Ederson
    Alonso TAA Balbuena
    Sterling Hazard Sane Richarlison
    Auba Arnie Wilson

    Subs: Bennett AWB Guendouzi

      Yes but wait til the game is done

    The only player to get in the ''easy " run of Thfc is Eriksen

    1. thunder_mike
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He is also nursing an injury

  6. thunder_mike

    I have 5 players in this game, need a high scoring game with the full backs get involved.

      RIP

      Wow

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I had benched Digne but no Kun or Barkley means he is coming on. Own Robbo, TAA, Salah and Richarlison.

  7. Top Lad Dakes.

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like goodbye, Kun. You've underwhelmed.

    Wish I had never been scared and swapped Auba out for you earlier in the season.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ah I remember you doing that, you had to keep Kante because of that right?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Took my only hit of the season bringing in Aguero GW3, alongside Auba in my team (w/ Kante as the enabler over Mahrez). Then proceeded to drop the wrong striker on my WC a week or two later.

    2. TAT

      Looking at the same move tonight. Doing any other transfers? Tempted by Sterling, but wonder if it's wise to wait for more news or not.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Can't get Sterling in easily for Haz, and not rly wanting to drop Salah before Burnley... May do Haz to Sane, or may wait on that one

        1. TAT
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Holding Haz and Salah might work out just fine, IMO. I got rid of Salah but have a sneaking feeling that I will just rush to get him back as soon as he gets a decent score.

          Worried about Haz, and don't know what to do. Eiter hold - risking another low score, or sell – and risk he just punishes straight way.

    All the Everton fans asking if Salah wants one or two sugars with his coffee 🙂

  19. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane looks more threatening than Salah right now

  20. Big_Bear
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not just asking who you’d pick, if you could have only one, but HOW would you go about picking between Kane/Aubameyang?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane always plays
