(RF) Lallana (LIV)
*(The aforementioned players are selected on the basis of their perfromance in their last match)
IndiaFantasy Prediction:
In their last 16 matches Liverpool FC has been unbeaten but have been forced to grind out two 2-1 wins in a row ahead of Friday’s Merseyside Derby. It’s a side that this Liverpool side is not usually known for and that stands them in good stead going forward.
Everton, meanwhile, are now winless in four and didn’t even manage a shot on target against Manchester United on Monday. The impact of Sam Allardyce’s arrival seems to have worn off now and this certainly isn’t an ideal time to travel to Anfield.
Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield against their closest rivals since September 1999 and should preserve that record on Friday night.
