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.

    So many players..... Kane, Auba, Sterling, Hazard, Arnie, Mitrovic, Mane etc

    Would you go:

    1) Sterling, Mane, Alli, Richarlison Kane, Arnie, Mitrovic

    2) Hazard, Sterling, Martial, Richarlison Kane, Arnie, Mitrovic

    3) Sterling, Mane, Richarlison, Kenedy Kane, Arnie, Aubameyang

    4) Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison, Kenedy Kane, Arnie, Aubameyang?

        Not anymore. I'm sick of him getting pulled early and his fixtures aren't even that good any more. Can't really justify the price tag if he's not playing the full 90 and doesn't have fixtures on his side.

        Auba is a good choice too, but it remains to be seen how he'll fit in if Lacazette starts.

          The free move will be a way to avoid hits - at the same time risking Kun not fit and another Sterling haul. Agüero will drop in price of course.

          The -4 is risking Agüero playing – and doing well, while Sterling might get a rest.

        Kane is getting small points even though Spurs scores 2 or 3 goals a game. I'm sure i'll switch to Kane later but Aubameyang for now plus maybe Eriksen.

      What is your opinion on this move:

      Aguero+Alonso->Kane+Balbuena (-4)

      It would give me additional 1.4 mil to do Haz to Sterling in a week or two.
      I know that Alonso is great value but his form and CHE fixtures are not that great, while WH fixtures are great and I don't have Fabianski also.

        I've seen plenty of moves for Kane involving Aguero but this is the one of the better moves on how to bring in Kane.

            Aguero has scored only one goal away from home and it was in a 5-0 game against Cardiff. The only LOL thing here is your post.
