[Teams] Everton vs Liverpool: Confirmed Line-Ups

Everton entertain Mersey rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime.

The Toffees trail second-placed Liverpool by three points so could move level with a win this afternoon, but the visitors will be hoping for a positive result that would see them climb above Arsenal into top spot.

Brendan Rodgers has been forced to draft in youngster Jon Flanagan at right-back with Glen Johnson moving over to the left due to Jose Enrique’s absence. Martin Skrtel partners Daniel Agger in the centre of defence, while Daniel Sturridge is only on the bench.

Here are the line-ups:

Everton

Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Barkley, Mirallas, Lukaku.

Subs: Robles, Heitinga, Jelavic, Deulofeu, Naismith, Osman, Stones.

Liverpool

Mignolet, Johnson, Flanagan, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Suarez

Subs: Jones, Toure, Alberto, Moses, Sturridge, Sakho, Sterling
