The penultimate match of Double Gameweek 23 takes place on Monday, as Liverpool host Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield.

Both clubs will ‘double’ in Gameweek 25, while the Toffees also have a guaranteed fixture in Blank Gameweek 28, placing extra emphasis on tonight’s performances from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Jurgen Klopp makes two changes to the side that lost 3-0 at Molineux last time out, as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson come in for Naby Keita and Thiago. The latter was a doubt and fails to make the matchday squad.

However, in better news, Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are all back on the bench, having recovered from their respective injuries.

As for Everton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin misses out with a hamstring injury, having been rated ‘touch and go at best’ by Sean Dyche in his pre-match press conference.

He’s replaced by 22-year-old Ellis Simms, who makes only his second Premier League start for the Toffees, in the only change from Gameweek 22.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Gakpo, Darwin

Subs: Kelleher, van Dijk, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Phillips

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, McNeil, Doucoure, Onana, Iwobi, Simms

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Keane, Gray, Mina, Maupay, Godfrey, Davies, Vinagre

    as bad as salah has been, he is still about 10 points up of kdb since the world cup

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      KDB has been worse IMO, since WC. So not really surprised about that

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah Kevin has been beyond atrocious.

  2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    1-1 Written all over this game.

    1. Chalobah's Witness

      4:0

    Why are the sky guys stood outside in the cold at Anfield up the stands and not in the studio?

  4. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Does Patterson get back in the Everton team as a regular starter when fully fit?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not enough info to say he will. It's only Dyche 2nd game.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah fair enough, had him as my third bench for a while but might need to shift on to get 11 out for GW25 without a hit. The fact Everton double could make him a keep if he is playing again then though, will have to wait and see. Otherwise could shift to Tark

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yup same. I'll probably just keep and hope for a 1-2 pointer. I don't see it's worth using a FT there. I do already have Tark

          1. Under my Cucurella
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah that's fair. I might use the FT for Tark still, can think on it for another week

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Coleman being an experienced captain makes him a perfect Dyche player.

      Patterson might but I doubt he'd be even ready to start come his DGW25.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah Coleman as a replacement for GW25 is an option. Just thinking ahead to get 11 players out during the blanks as Patterson has been burning a hole in my bench for a while. Will wait it out until before GW25 deadline anyways as can probs save a FT this week. Other move will be Bruno > Salah probably

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          If buying now it's easily Tark!

          1. Under my Cucurella
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I might wait until next week and do it with Bruno > Salah. Price changes depending as I've only 0.2 spare for the moves. Not sure who I'd bench for Tark in 24 anyways as I have a back 3 of Shaw, Gabriel and Trippier. Bueno and Andreas other bench players, so position is fine for 24

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hoping he’s fit enough to play next week so that we find out!

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I'd say we'd be very lucky if he's even fit for the bench. Definitely not to start surely so we won't know if he'll be first choice under Dyche, I'm doubting he will anyway. I may still keep him if he's likely to pick up 2pts from 2 sub apps, better than nothing and the alternative may be to move him to Tark/Coady for a hit, could end up worse off

        1. Under my Cucurella
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I am considering those moves for free maybe, could be an easier switch

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not enough time to wait I need a full set of outfielders asap

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Same boat

    5. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Can’t see him getting any he next 3, maybe one of the doubles?

  5. HippY
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Stuck a bet on before the game for Nunez to assist Salah and Salah to assist Nunez... Come on boys you know what to do 🙂

  12. RICICLE
    • 3 Years

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    TAA is back!

  14. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This game has 2-1 written all over it.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      😆

    2. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nah 3-0

  15. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    No assist surely

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    TAA back in favour in for GW25 then

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Aye

  17. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gakpo, Salah or Nunez for the double?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m thinking KdB > Salah

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Aye, thats the one. No brainer for that one given Kevs lack of returns and dip in form.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      None, but if anyone, Salah

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        To much surgery required for me to get to him, feel like I'm missing out on the fun and/or misery having 0 pool for their DGW.

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Terrible defending by coady. 2 goals and 2 massive mistakes

  19. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Yep, pool players will be brought in great result before the double if they can get more

  20. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pool dgw trap coMing up?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The trap is certainly set, I’m well dodging it

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Already set, it's beautiful

  21. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Coady gave one for the academy.

  22. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bought Gakpo and Nunez yesterday for GW24 lol

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      For away to Newcastle and before they play Real Madrid the following Tuesday 😀

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No Bruno G

  23. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    They're back!

  24. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Feel like that VAR check was a couple of frames too early.

  25. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hope Gakpo can keep his place for gw25 for a punt.
    Already low on players so removing kdb for salah doesnt seem like the best of options, when probably saka cpt.

    1. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He won’t be safe with Jota and Firmino back

      1. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Hoping they wont be match/ starting fit by then I guess.
        I will gladly take 130- 140min or so

        1. CrouchDown
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          They are on the bench now so will surely be fine in 2 weeks

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How is TAA still 7.3m lol

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      With 4 assists for the season now that's just 1.825 per assist

  27. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    C'mon, Everton! Get yer finger out!

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Was set on Tarkowski but it seems as if the Dyche effect has worn off

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Remember emery gettng a 4-0 in first game, lost next one!
      Maybe be a one game manager bounce!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Had he scored i stead of hitting post, would you be saying this?

  29. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Everton love gifting Pool 3pts don't they? Almost like a yearly tradition.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pickford seems to have a mare each time

  30. villa_til_i_die
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is following live still working?. 2 goals have gone in and I haven’t dropped rank!!
