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.

    Alli
    Son

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      son top if nailed i think. would wait on see who has set pieces when tripps is back. based on current form, etc.

      Son
      Eriksen
      Alli
      Kane

      But that said, Kane ceiling probably highest, and he is the dafest (C) choice too

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

    I am glad I have no one in this game.. snorefest. 0-0 written a over it

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Liverpool defence is highly owned...

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      We watching the same game?

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

  6. Bonita

    @ stimps. Not bad. Considering Anderson myself.

  7. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Every one of my team has returned this week, but I have four in this one, including Richarlison double Liverpool defence. I'll need a very unusual result to make it a clean sweep 🙂

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      0-0. Richarlison pen save imminent

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Alisson saving a Siggy pen would be splendid.

  8. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Coleman clean sheet off the bench for Aguero would be a nice surprise

  9. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry for repost. Bottomed last page.
    Laca or Auba
    For Kun ??
    Laca gives me money to do kamara to mitro in future.

  18. Sim Simma

    Liverpool are not keeping a CS today. FACT

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This is not a fact. FACT.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wrong. Carragher says that you're not gonna get a better chance than that in the Merseyside derby, so I guess the ship has sailed on an Everton goal

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      To win this game someone will have to score fact

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

    If Salah blanks, hazard to sterling this week and cap Salah next week, if he scores then kun to Kane and captain kane next week

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nods and smiles.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      ...what?

    3. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Eh?

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

      I meant if Salah scores then hazard to sterling Salah cap, if he doesn’t then kun to Kane and kane cap

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nods and smiles.

  20. All de Gea no iDier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    The only FACT is that you don't know that.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The only FACT is that you don't know that.

  21. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So scoring 10 goals from 10 SoT, what do you think about that?

    Overperforming? Good finisher?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Overperforming.

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Great finish

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Costsa did something similar when he came to Chelsea. Only shot when he knew he might score.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      An over performing great finisher.

    5. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Great performing overfinisher

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Over finisher, I like it 😆

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

      Who

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Aubameyang

  22. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Can do Salah, Aguero, Arnie to Kane, Auba, Sane for a -4 but might be priced out tonight.

    Will keep Hazard for Wolves and then find some cash to swap him for Sterling in a week or so.

    How do these moves look?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you want to?

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well I was planning on bringing in Kane tonight anyway but Arsenal's upcoming fixture run is great. Also think i'd prefer Anderson over Arnie

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Oh, thinking to do the same but must for -8, maybe just Kun -> Kane/Auba for gw 15.

  23. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    So glad I waited for transfers, games moved on since then?

  25. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard and Agüero -> Sterling and Aubameyang for free?

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

      ye

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I hope Salah doesn't get a RedCard today

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thats what you call a FACT 😉

  27. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    GW 14 transfer Hazard to Spurs mid

    GW 15 transfer Kamara to Aubameyang

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Which Spurs mid will start midweek?

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wolves next for Chelsea

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Will hurt you when Kamara hauls.

    4. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You mean 15 and 16?

    5. lespaul
      • 14 Years

    6. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

  28. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years

    Salah on for BAPS. Strange game.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      For now

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

      Just wait for the shots off Target

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thought he was celibate

  29. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Auba or Kane?

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

      Both? I am planning on that.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      On recent performance Auba

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

    I am getting both Kane and Aubu,
    but who do I get for midweek
    A) Kane
    B) Aubu

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane surely

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have Kane,Aguero,Arnautovic as it stands.

      Kane(c) against Southampton. If he blanks I may consider Kane > Aubameyang instead of Aguero > Aubameyang.

      Extra funds would let me do Richarlison > Alli.
