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.

      Don’t think so after Origi winning goal bonus

    2. diesel001

      Don't think so. Origi will get winning goal bonus to push him into the BAPS and Robbo out.

    Klopp is such a twat.

      They just scored a last minute winner in the derby, f**k off.

      1. sandman58

        5 years, 4 months ago

        Did Fergie get on like when Owen scored an injury time winner v City
        No
        Klopps an idiot with no class

        1. HNI
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          You comparing a trophy centric Ferguson with passion centric Klopp. No class.

    2. sandman58

      An absolute idiot he is
      Has to be banned for that
      Mourhino got a ban just for stepping over the line last season at Southampton
      But u just know he will get away with it

      Not a pool fan but love Klopp. Proper football man. Love his enthusiasm and his madness.

    Most amusing. Lost a cs point from Rich but hopefully gain two from Alisson BAPS.

  4. HNI

    Brilliant luck for Liv. They will need it more vs Legendary ancelottis Napoli 🙂

  5. BigBillyBass

    That goal could win Pool the league

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Lol

      1. Zilla

    How is that a vvd assist? It was definitely not a shot or pass, the ball bounced twice on the post. So why sane is not given assist yday?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      clear assist mate 😎

    2. Son is Rising
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      "definitely not a shot or pass"
      What was it then?

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Clearance.

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

        It was a wild effort. So why sane not given assist yday? He also tried to score but go saved it and rebound scored.

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

      Because the rule sucks.

  7. thunder_mike

    That goal cost me jammy Digne points off the bench and green arrow.

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You still get Digne’s points mate!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He was well ahead on the bonus.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Me too. Richarlison 2nd on bench and Digne 3rd. I am raging!!!

  8. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Shouldnt be an assist, wasnt a shot on target 😉 Justice for Sane.

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Haha yeah to be fair thats right

  9. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DIVOCK ORIGI wahooooooo get in!!!!!

  10. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I wouldn't be too mad if I owned Salah tbh. 3 points is only 5 below his ceiling

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

    Wow. All three players I want in the next few weeks (Anderson, Auba and Trent) all likely to rise tonight.

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

      Take some hits. It's liberating.

  12. socho
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Right so this is a Van Dijk assist but Sane's shot is not. Legit

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

      Sane was more on target

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

        I agree. I just think this Gameweek proved the absurdity of the rule.

  13. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Digne second on bench is bearable now!

  14. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Genuinely heartbreaking losing them Digne points 🙁

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

      I'd be puking.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m trying to eat lunch here

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Bizarre. No way you’d have expected to get anything before the game started - if you ended up with CS points for an Everton defender away to Liverpool that’d be a nice bit of luck, nothing more.

        Like watching the flop come 7,7,2 when you have 7,2 in your hand but folded before. Was the right call regardless of how the flop comes. No way you can expect much from that.

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I almost played him tbh i thought it might be tight giving it’s a derby and pool more cautious to biggish teams but yes luck all the same

          I think it’s the way and time of the goal that hurts the most

    3. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This game really love to shiit on your head

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Incredible...

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

      Cuts inside and he slots against the Blues

      Divock Origi!

    5. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      is anyone else frantically trying to decide between Auba or Kane before Aguero price drop?!

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cannot afford Kane without hit. Helps to choose.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nah its easy Auba

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

        Think I’m going Aubameyang

      4. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I just got auba.

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

        going Kane mainly cause they have Soton at home and an incredible run of fixtures

        1. captainjilflex
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Look at Arsenals fixtures. Arguably better and no CL commitments

      6. captainjilflex
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah i was all set on Kane but leaning towards Auba now aswell.

      7. HNI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Is auba on penalties? That may help to decide as well

        1. captainjilflex
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          No Laca i believe

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He scored from one today

    6. tm245
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      VVD walks away upset with himself for shanking the shot...

    7. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Origi to rise 0.3 by next GW

    10. secret_account
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How could van dijk possibly get an assist and sane not. My head’s gone

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

      If Pickford hadn’t touched it it would have bounced out.

    12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sane owners get another slap in the face as vvd is awarded the assist 😆

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

        Oh wait it actually is going to stand! Because it was a shot saved by the keeper technically.. Wow..

    13. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      VVD & Laca to TAA & Aguero (-4) went well! Woooo

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Geez.

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

        I done Lacca & Anderson to
        Arnie & Sane -4

    14. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Does Pickford get the assist point or VVD

    15. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Origi starts vs Bur confirmed.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years

        Forgot he was even still at the club!

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

      VVD - 3
      Alisson - 2
      GOAT - 1

    17. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Who is look better guys?
      A. Kane
      B. Auba
      Ta.

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Auba

    18. Gt1996
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mane + Aguero > Sterling + Auba for free? Only other person I want to shift in my squad is Shaq/Murray but cant see anything worth using a transfer on (1.6m itb)

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Auba or Kane?

        1. Gt1996
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Couldnt afford to also do Mane > Sterling if I went for Kane over Auba
