Fantasy Football Club's Paul Merson will attempt to end Matt Le Tissier's winning run when Soccer Saturday pundits go head-to-head in Sky Sports' Fantasy Six-a-Side game for the Merseyside derby.
Le Tiss has defeated all in his path so far in the charity winner-stays-on challenge, thumping Phil Thompson on Saturday Night Football as he selected hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero as his Elite Player while Thommo went for Diego Costa.
The Soccer Saturday pundits with the most wins victories come the final weekend of the season will battle it out to land £1,000 for the charity of their choice.
The usual £10,000 is up for grabs twice this week for entrants of the free-to-play game, with Tuesday's clash between Newcastle and Manchester City plus Liverpool v Everton, with the latter the subject of this week's head-to-head.
With no player values, formations or position requirements in Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side, the pundits can pick whoever they want except for only one of the four Elite Players, who are Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho, Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley.
Here's who the Soccer Saturday pundits are selecting...
Matt Le Tissier's team
Philippe Coutinho - He's got the ability to be one of the Premier League's top players and I'm hoping he'll add to a tally of four goals from his last six appearances in all competitions.
Simon Mignolet - I'm expecting Everton to rest a few ahead of their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday so I'll back Mignolet to keep a clean sheet.
Dejan Lovren - His performances have improved a lot recently and scoring his first goal for the club against Dortmund will have done his confidence no harm. He also scored a couple when he was at Southampton so hopefully he can get another one on Wednesday.
Nathanial Clyne - He's playing for his place in Roy Hodgson's side and has been the one former Saint who has really performed consistently side joining Liverpool.
Mamadou Sakho - I'm putting all my eggs in the clean sheet basket here. Sakho was also on the scoresheet against Dortmund so fingers crossed he'll do so again.
Roberto Firmino - I'm a bit surprised he's not one of the Elite Players, having scored nine and set up seven this season, and I'd be very surprised if he's not in most teams.
Paul Merson's team
Daniel Sturridge - He's top drawer and I still think he's the best English forward when he's on his day.
Divock Origi - He's been getting better and better and I'd like to see Klopp play both Sturridge and Origi and really have a good go.
Adam Lallana - He makes things happen and I'm hoping he'll be able to create plenty of chances, while he's also got goals in him.
Roberto Firmino - He's Liverpool's top goalscorer because he gets himself in lot of scoring positions and tends to take his chances.
James Milner - He does what it says on the tin week-in-week out and I'll be relying on him to complete plenty of passes and create a few chances.
Simon Mignolet - Le Tiss has been clever in loading his team with defenders as Everton are probably going to field a weakened side. I'll be hoping that it's a goal fest, but the smart money would be on Liverpool keeping a clean sheet.
