Liverpool are set to take on Everton in the English FA Cup

Liverpool are set to take on Everton in the English FA Cup third round game on Friday night, 05 January 2018 at Anfield which is a massive game for either side. These two match back in December in the league when they played out a 1-1 draw at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp is likely to make several changes in the starting lineup while Everton will fancy their chances against a deplated Liverpool side who are there for the taking. The game will kickoff at about 19:55 uk time and BT Sports has live coverage in the UK. We'll have live links closer to the start of the match.

Everton haven't conquered Liverpool at Anfield for best part of last 16 years and it appears highly unlikely considering both teams forms that it is going to change anytime soon. However with new manager Sam Allerdyce, Everton might put up a good fight and their only chance in this game will probably be if they could frustrate Liverpool for longer periods of time and catch them on the rest.

Liverpool can go over only 3 points of second placed Manchester United who are playing with Man City after in the day. A win is a must for Liverpool if they were to keep on staying in the top. Everton can also jump to the upper half of the table with a triumph.

Team News & Lineups: Moving to the match Jurgen Klopp will have Daniel Sturridge back in the squad and may find a location on bench considering Divock Origi's goal scoring form. Firmino, Origi and Mane place to begin upfront while Lallana, Henderson and Wijnaldum to play in midfield for Liverpool. Klopp is very likely to keep Simon Mignolet in target after falling Karius against Middlesbrough.

Everton on the other hand can not wait for January transfer window to kick in as they are near to registering Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay on loan from United. But for now they'll need to stick with what they have and we can expect unchanged side apart from Gareth Barry who was sent off from Arsenal.
