The 247th Merseyside derby gets Gameweek 5 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.
Liverpool v Everton kicks off at Anfield at 12.30pm BST.
TEAM NEWS
As many suspected would happen, Alexander Isak is only on the bench for Liverpool this afternoon.
More surprising is the demotion of Florian Wirtz to substitute duty.
Wirtz and Isak are two of four players who drop out of the Liverpool starting XI from the midweek win over Atletico Madrid.
Andrew Robertson and Jeremie Frimpong also make way.
Hugo Ekitike, Alexis Mac Allister, Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez are the quartet that return to the Reds’ line-up.
Wirtz’s benching will presumably see the versatile Dominik Szoboszlai play in a more advanced role.
As for the Toffees, there’s just the one change from Gameweek 4.
Vitalii Mykolenko is back from injury, so Tim Iroegbunam drops out.
James Garner had been deputising as a makeshift left-back but Mylolenko’s return to fitness means that Garner can return to his usual central midfield role.
LINE-UPS
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike.
