Predicted Line-Up: Jordan Pickford; Vitaliy Mykolenko, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, Ashley Young; Dwight McNeil, Orel Mangala, Idrissa Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye; Abdoulaye Doucouré; Dominic Calvert-Lewin

The start of this season doesn’t bode well for Everton. Playing 14 games and they sit 14th place in the league table with three wins, six losses and five draws. Those results have left them with 14 points, but if Everton are able to beat Liverpool and results across the table go their way, they could only climb one place up the table, overtaking West Ham. The Toffees have relied on winger Dwight McNeil for goal contributions as he has racked up three goals and three assists in the 13 games that he’s played. Everton forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Iliman Ndiaye have the next best tally with two goals, with Calvert-Lewin also registering an assist. They will be vital for Everton as they give their best efforts in beating their closest rivals in Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Those matches have left them with 35 points, holding an impressive seven point gap to second and third placed Arsenal and Chelsea. In the goals for The Reds has been the unstoppable force of Mohamed Salah, having a Balon D’Or worthy season. The Egyptian has found the back of the net 13 times this season, the highest tally out of all the players in the Premier League. It hasn’t just been the spectacular goal output for Salah like it usually is, but Salah has been a provider for eight assists to his teammates. He has been directly involved in 21 out of the 29 goals that Liverpool have scored this season, making him irreplaceable. He will most probably be the star of the show once more on Saturday.
