Everton expected starting line-up vs Liverpool - with just one new signing to feature

Everton aim for their first Merseyside derby at Goodison Park since 2010 when they face Liverpool today (12.30 BST).

The Toffees are still winless in the Premier League this season but will feel they should have more points on the board.

Frank Lampard’s side have drawn their past three games - against Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Leeds United - and now aim to clinch the city’s bragging rights.

Everton have three new players available for the visit of Liverpool.

Neal Maupay signed last week from Brighton but has been ineligible because of Premier League rules.

Meanwhile, Idrissa Gana Gueye returned from PSG on transfer deadline day before James Garner was recruited for up to £15 million from Manchester United.

In terms of injuries, Everton will again be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey, Mason Holgate, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Andros Townsend because of injury.

With all of those things in mind, here’s how we think the Blues will line-up.

Goalkeeper - Jordan Pickford

The Everton No.1 may be kept on his toes throughout the game.

Right-back - Nathan Patterson

Set for the toughest test of his career to date as he'll likely come up against Luis Diaz down the flank.

Centre-back - Conor Coady

He may have come through the ranks at Liverpool and been a boyhood fan - but he'll only be thinking about a Blues victory.

Centre-back - James Tarkowski

The ex-Burnley defender's experience will be important and he'll be plenty busy down the left channel.

Left-back Vitalii Mykolenko

The Ukrainian did well marking Mo Salah when the two sides met at Anfield in April. He'll be hoping for a similar performance.

Centre-midfield - Amadou Onana

The £33 million signing has made an impressive start to life at Goodison. He may be tasked with shielding the back four again as he did against Leeds.

Centre-midfield - Tom Davies

Plenty of fans will want Gueye to start, which is understandable. However, he hasn't played all season and Lampard eluded to Gueye potentially being short of fitness during his pre-match press conference. As a result, Davies may keep his spot.

Centre-midfield - Alex Iwobi

One of the first names on the team sheet. Iwobi will cover every blade of grass and his intelligent first-time passes could prove vital.

Right-wing - Dwight McNeil

McNeil has come in for some criticism since arriving from Burnley. But while he didn't have too much of an attacking influence against Leeds, his work rate didn't go unnoticed. That could see him get the nod over Demarai Gray.

Striker - Neal Maupay

The Frenchman has frustratingly been unavailable for the previous two games after signing last week. Maupay looked set to start at Leeds so it's even likelier he'll make his debut from the outset with a full week of training in his legs.

Left-wing - Anthony Gordon

Scored in his past two games and will be plenty confident. Gordon caused Liverpool all sorts of problems in the derby at Anfield in April and the boyhood Evertonian will be desperate for a win.
