Following a decent run in the last couple of games, the predicted Everton team to face Liverpool could see Frank Lampard utilise an unorthodox option to get a foothold.

His physical presence could be utilised, in the absence of the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The midfield trio could remain as Allan, Delph and Iwobi. Indeed,…
